Reactions to the pill

Yes, everyone, another pill question!!
I've been on Dianette for probably about 2 years now but over the last couple of months I think I've started having a reaction to it. Everytime I take it, 3-6 hours after I start to feel nauseous and am sometimes sick, it's getting to the point where I dread taking it and never get the symptoms on my break so I've jumped to the conclusion it is probably the pill itself.
What I was just wondering is, is it possible/normal for this to start happening suddenly even though I've been taking it for ages? (I've read Dianette isn't for long term use but my Dr reckons it's okay when I asked him).
My friend thinks it may be because I have started taking generic forms of Dianette rather than the actual brand, but I was always under the impression, they are more or the less the same, does anyone know whether this might cause it?
Obviously, I am going to do the Drs soon but just wanted a few opinions on it and whether it had happened to anyone else.
Thanks
