If you don't want to get pregnet for a long time I suggest going on the Depo-Provera shot. It's a great alternative to the pill because you only have to get one shot every 3 months! PLUS! You don't get your period anymore! It's just as affective as the pill, if not a little more, and it's perfect because you don't have to worry about missing your pill or taking it at the exact same time every day! :D
Unfortunatly, birth control's most common side affect is weight gain/bloating...Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. ;) Maybe there's one out there that will be better on you...Talk to your doctor and I'm sure they'll be able to hook you up with something that will work.
If you've been using this particular brand of pill for 3 months or more and don't care for the side effects, then simply go back to the doctor and ask to be switched to a different formulation and see if things get better. There are literally dozens of types of pills on the market; chances are that with a little experimentation you'll find one that suits you.
