Alesse Birth Control????

I have taken birth control for almost 3 years. I was taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It recently started to make my face breakout, I had longer, heavier periods and it completely diminished my life. I stopped taking it and have been horrible, but my drive is back! I went to the doctor yesterday and he gave me Alesse. I don't know much about it and really haven't heard of it. I won't start taking it till my period which is about 2 1/2 weeks away. I want to know what some side affects you experienced when you used it. I have read the pamphlet so I know possible side effects but i want to know from real people. I would like to know as much about it as possible. Thank you so much!
