Hey guys. Quick question. I'm on ortho
tricyclen lo right now but i'm switching
to orthocept because I have severe mood
swings with otc lo but I was just
wondering if I need to use back up when I
switch. I'm thinking no, since I won't be
going off birth control, just switching
brands. But maybe i'm wrong. Help
anyone?

Yes, you will need to use a back-up method
for at least 7 days after starting the new
pack.
The hormones between these 2 pills aren't
identical, and you're body will need time
to adjust to the new pill.
