Nora-Be side effects

I was recently switched from a combo pill (that I have been taking for 12 years) to Nora-BE due to migraines with aura. Since the headaches increase my risk of stroke, as do combo pills - they were required by law to switch me.

Unfortunately, since about two days after switching, I have been having eye twitching, severe headaches, vision loss, cramping etc. The eye/headache problems only start about 1 hour after taking the pill.

I went back to the doctor, who will not switch me back, and suggested going to a neurologist (hard since I just lost my job and insurance), and that I was basically out of luck. She also tried to blame it on pretty much everything other than the pill (allergies, caffeine, stress etc.). Apparently it is better for them for me to have increased risk of stroke from daily headaches (and liver/stomach issues due to heavy intake of pain killers now) than one from combo pills that never caused me any issues. I even offered to sign a waiver, but that did not make them budge a bit.

I understand their liability in the issue, but it is extremely frustrating to have headaches this badly daily, as well as having issues seeing (badly enough I cannot read highway signs). It is to the point where I may have to forgo any sex life with my fiance in order to get off these pills - which won't make him very happy :p. That, or go to another clinic, and go through the whole PAP again, as well as the bill, bleh..
