I've gone through about 6 different pills before settling on one that seems to work the best for me, which is seasonique (this is my first cycle with it, but i was on seasonle for about 2 years prior). some pills would kill my sex drive, others made me dry, some left me with my painful cramps and so on.
seasonique seems like it might have increased my sex dirve some compared to seasonale, but it might be all in my head as well. i also enjoy it as it reduces my periods to 4 times a year, and although it doesn't eliminate my cramps (another brand or two I tried before did, but had some other side effect that I didn't like) it does reduce them, and having to suffer 4 times a year is much better than 12.
I recommend going to your doctor and letting them know about the side effect(s) that you are having, and they should be able to recommed a different pill (one that has a little more of this, or a little less of that) that may work better with your personal chemistry.
It really sucks, but ot may take trying several different pills for 3+ months each before you find one that is ideal for you.
