Which birth control pill?

Hi everyone. I have chosen to go on the birth control pill but I don't know what pill I want to use. I am wanting one that will help to clear up my acne but will also have a low potential of causing mood swings. The latter is the most important criteria. Any suggestions?

Each pill works differently for every women. Sometimes you have to try 2-3 to find the one right for you.
I personally am on Ortho-Tricylen Lo.
Just tell your Doc what you told us and they will be able to decide which you should try.

Does the Ortho-Tricyclen Lo have an effect on your moods?

Not that I have noticed.
But I never was a moody person. Not even when I am PMS'n.
I wasn't before or after taking the pill.

I had been on ortho-lo before...and i developed horrible depression.. i kinda felt like nothing was worth it anymore...so i switched to aviane...which is a monophasic pill.
