birth control pills

I hust started a new pack of birth control pills this month.  I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore.  Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight.  My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?  If it is not the same can I stop them now or do I have to wait until I finish this one pack?

I have bee scrolling through this website looking to find answers for the exact same thing!

I have gained 25-30 lbs since switching to this brand about a year ago. I am completely exhausted and have recently been spotting/ break through bleeding for a month now.

I am going to make an appointment to see the doctor, because I am so sick of these issues. I hope you're feeling better!
