Which birth control pill has the most estrogen and progesterone?

Question:

I am looking to change my birth control. I am on a low dose and I was looking to change it to something with more estrogen and progesterone to keep my hormone levels more even. I've been on the low dose and I have had a hormone imbalance causing me some weird body issues hence the change in pills.

Answers:
Hi there, I'm a pharmacist...the stronger the pill, the more likely you will get side effects...and possibly long term adverse effects. Always use the lowest strength that will do the job. See if your gyno has some samples you can try AND REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST USE AN ADDITIONAL BIRTH CONTROL METHOD FOR THE FIRST MONTH YOU USE A DIFFERENT PILL! (Sorry, but that's how my sister-in-law became an unexpected mother. Neither her pharmacist nor her doctor told her. Oops).

But...what do you mean by "weird body issues"? Weight gain, for instance might be associated with too much estrogen or too little progesterone. When I took B/C's, I got nasty mood swings, couldn't tolerate any of them.
