New birth control pill causing emotional turmoil and headaches

This is a question for all the women out there. my doctor switched me to a new birth control pill here recently and the side effects have been really horrible. my emotions are everywhere which is not like me. I can't control them like on the first few bad pms days leading up to your period. One moment I'm angry the next I'm in the verge of tears but I can't ever say the cause. I get really bad headaches as well and I'm kind over it not going to lie. my doctor thinks I have endometriosis but isn't sure so the pill was the best option to help my heavy periods. I'm not one to quit a medication cold turkey but I'm just about there. Anyone else gone through anything ike this?

I suffer from endometriosis too and birth control really controlled my pain and made my periods bearable. Yes, it makes me more emotional and my sex desire is less than before. I still prefer it more than the pain i suffered before
