Loestrin 20 pill

I have tried 4 different pills in the last couple years since all of them have affected my moods in a very negative way, my previous pill, co-cyprindiol was great because it regulated my period and cleared my face however it made me so emotional that sometimes I felt like I was going in sane. My anxiety was worse, I was depressed. I was told this is normal and there is always something for something, so upon switching for Loestrin 20 I thiught this must be the final one. My first period was 15 days long, my already acne prone skin was covered within 2 weeks of starting and I felt nauseous and was cramping realky badly everytime my period came around. I have now decided to stop the pill and only use condoms, which is not 100% effective but I would rather use that than be an emotional, sick, mess!
