switching me from one generic Pill to a different generic Pill. They say they're all the same stuff, but they are LYING.
Different manufacturers are better or worse about dose precision, and use different "inert" ingredients (which can make a difference in how the main medication is absorbed, or cause other problems depending on your sensitivities -- lactose, for an easy example, is a common filler and problematic for a fair number of people). That said, the choice and balance of hormones in your Pill can make a huge difference, and it's worth talking to your doctor about tuning if what you have now is making you unhappy.
(Me, I gave up on the Pill after two variations in a row turned me into a ball of murderous rage all the time. No fun! I have a temper, but not like that ...)
