Apri birth control?

I have been taking ortho-tricyclen lo birth control pills for a couple years now. I switched jobs and have new insurance now. My co-pay for my pills went from $10 a month to $25 a month. If I use a generic pill, I will have $0 in co-pay. Has anyone switched from Ortho lo to Apri? If so, were there any complications?

    I was not on Ortho, but I did go on Apri as my first birth control. I was on it for about a year, and I didnt have any problems. It helped with my cramping so much and it made my periods about 3 days.I recently switched to NuvaRing because I just kept forgetting to take my pill. I say good luck and hope it works for you as well as it did for me!! :)
