Desogen and alesse

I have been on Desogen now for about 8 months. At first I started noticing that I would get terrible PMS which I had never experienced before with any other pill and I have used Yasmin, Alesse, and Orthotrycyclene. My side effects seem to change each month. At first it was extreme PMS before each cycle and now I get no PMS before my cycle, but during my 7 days off I get very little bleeding and then when I start back on the pill I get cramping with spotting and the PMS symptoms start and have been getting longer and longer each month. I hate this feeling of being out of control of my emotions. This month I had weepiness that is very rare for me. Each month is a new symptom. I just want to know what to expect every month.

I have tried five different birth control pills including Desogen, Ortho tri-cyclen, Mircette, Alesse, and Yasmin. Desogen was by far the absolute scariest. After being on Desogen for just a week I found myself severly depressed and even contemplated suicide, which I had NEVER in my entire life even though about. I had horrible mood swings and a feeling of impending doom for no reason at all. As for the other pills, Ortho tri-cyclen and Yasmin has similar side effects like moodiness, weight-gain, breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and fatigue. Alesse and Mircette had less of the mood side effects for me but they did both cause breakthrough bleeding and vaginal dryness. I had breakthrough bleeding on Alesse for the entire year and a half I was taking it. That will make you not want to have sex.

I just switched after taking Alesse for 4 years.. My period usually lasts between 5-6 days, but I'm still experiencing spotting and now its been 10 days.. Not sure how long this usually lasts...
