Birth Control price 4X increase....Good alternatives?

My insurance just revamped their policy on my birth control pills and I almost had sticker shock when the cashier rung it up. I told them to keep it. I've heard about the shots in the arm...3 month and 1 month. I was wondering if these affect weight loss, how much they cost and some of the pros and cons in general...and what are they called? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Another drug affected by these changes was my antacid(sp)...Prevacid...worked great... left those behind too because of the price...I can't take Zantac (side affects worse than the condition) Any other good ideas for antacids that come in generic? Thanks all!!! -Kim open RNY 7/17 -103
