Default Good Experiences w/OTC Lo??

I'm done with breastfeeding so ready to get back to doing something to help manage these nasty symptoms. My gyno has rx'd me Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo....anyone have a good experience with this bcp? I did a couple of months on the regular OTC and was less than happy, but that was about 5 years ago. I'm hoping the lower dose works for me. I keep reading bad and good....and I know that everyone is different, but it would really help to get some feedback from my cysters, not just "regular" woman.

I was on regular-dose OTC for 5 years, with wonderful results. Then, I stopped taking it for a year, and all these awful symptoms flared up. When I decided to go back on the pill, the doctor gave me OTC Lo and I've had almost exactly the same results with that as I had with the regular-dose stuff, thankfully.
