Many women find that the birth control pill can help lighten periods but this isn't the case for all women, including yourself. You need to speak with your doctor since your period is so heavy it affects your life significantly. You should not be taking 24 painkillers during your period.
There are no more side effects when on the Pill every day, as opposed to taking the 7 day break. But since you have a history of cysts, talk to your gynecologist before changing your regime. There may be other options to consider.
