Yeah, I would give it at least three months, unless your side effects are just so bad you can't wait them out. Your body has to adjust to the new hormone load; since the Pill basically works by convincing your body it's pregnant, your body is undergoing a lot of subtle change right now.
But listen to your body, and listen to yourself. If you are not happy with your pill, go back to the doctor and seek out other choices. For a lower dose of hormones, you might try the NuvaRing. If you don't want hormonal BC, and are in a monogamous LTR, you might consider the IUD.
You haven't run out of options yet, so go back to your doctor if you need to.
I really like the NuvaRing, personally. I was on it for 2 years. No problems except some breast tenderness after inserting a new ring. Had to go off of it because my county health clinic doesn't carry it, but I'll be going back on it soon.
