I was on Brevicon for a couple months about two years ago. The only thing I remember experiencing was weight gain on the lower half. Then again, I work out, and I think I was hitting the weights pretty hard back then, so it could have been from that. I just seem to remember that my butt kept getting bigger and I didn't like it, so I finished out the last pack and went off of it. I didn't have any hair loss while I was on it. But after stopping it, I shed for a little while (month or two). That can happen when going off any pill, though, because of the sudden drop in hormone levels. I feel your pain with the hair loss, though. I lost a lot on another pill (Estrostep FE), it was horrendous. Anyway, back to Brevicon, I didn't have mood problems or sex drive issues either while on it. I took a B complex vitamin every day while I was on it, though. The pill depletes many of the B vitamins so supplementing helps a lot. I've chosen to stay off the pill due to me being sensitive to side effects. If I had to go back on, though, I'd probably try the Brevicon again, or maybe Ovcon-35, which is similar. Good luck, and try to keep an open mind. :) Remember, too, that every pill affects each woman differently. What doesn't work for one person might just be fine for you.
