You can try that. Nordette and Seasonale have the same mix of hormones but are made by different comnpanies. When changing between pills, even between a brand name and its generic, there can be side effects for a few packs. It might be best to stick with one pill if you don't want the possibility of side effects during a switch. Another consideration is that not all women can skip on all pills. And monophasics such as Mircette and Nordette usually work better than triphasics, such as OTC, when trying to skip. Once you find a pill you are comfortable on then try skipping before you need it to see if it works well for you.
Good luck
