Alternate Medicine Of Loestrin Because Of The Side Effects?

My 19 year daughter was changed from Loestrin 24 fe to Minestrin 24 fe in December. She in on the 2nd pack and now having terrible breast tenderness/tingling, bloating, mood swings and an episode of nausea and fainting last week. She doesn't get a period on this loestrin and so far has not had one on Minestrin but she was concerned and took a pregnancy test yesterday morning and again this morning. Both were negative. I have read these side effects are common on this BCP. Should she be taking something else?
