Switching from Cryselle to Sprintec?

I had been on Cryselle or one of it's derivatives since I was 15. Just recently I switched to Sprintec because I had lost my insurance coverage and it was cheaper. It has been about two months since I switched and recently I have been having anxiety like symptoms such as, lightheadedness, falling feeling, dizziness, loss of appetite, emotional among other things. I didn't know if switching between these two could cause these symptoms or if it might be something else like Thyroid or Progesterone, or if it is just general anxiety? Any help would be great. I am kind of at a loss.

Thank you for commenting.I am going to finish out this third month pack and see what happens.  I talked to my MD and she said to wait and see if the problem persists.

Thanks again!

Hello,
Every pill has its own advantages and disadvantages. It may cause side effects in few while not in others. These symptoms being experienced by you can be due to hormonal fluctuations or side effects of the new pill. It may take 2-3 months for your body to adjust to the new pill. If the symptoms are severe and persistent it is suggested to contact your gynecologist and get evaluated. Your doctor may suggest an alternative drug if needed. Hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
