Birth control pills are effective, it is when you miss pills and take them incorrectly that there are problems..

I recommend any woman that is sexually active to use contraception of some kind, so YES, I would recommend that you use it.

Side effects vary from woman to woman, and some women never experience anything.

You will not know unless you try =)

Never even heard of it. Is it generic or name brand??

You can always google any medication and information about it should pop up... often times one of the sites that will pop up will be a place where people report their side effects and how they experienced the medication. I did it with the pill that I am on now.

However, realize that most people that are talking about the side effects of a pill are doing so most likely because they had bad side effects. The ones who had no problems generally don't say anything because there's not a reason. So if you do ask for people's experience, you will get a lot of negative feedback because those are the people who want to talk about it. And everyone experiences every birth control differently, so you really will just have to wait and see what you experience.

hope this helps.
