I have had the same problem you have with finding something that works. I've been on everything from OrthoCyclen to Yaz and they've all been terrible on me. If they didn't make me the most overly emotional angry person in the world, they gave me migraines. But for the last 5 months I have been on the generic of the Alesse you mentioned called Aviane. It doesn't do those awful mood swing effects to me, but it has made me breakout a little more than usual. Very annoying. Maybe you should talk to your OB about a low-dose pill???
