Advice on getting on the pill

Hi! I recently had a super bad scare and want to get on birth control. Im just wondering what Opill is like and if any of you guys recommend it or not. For some background info im 18 and I’ve never taken any sort of birth control I also don’t suffer from super bad periods or irregular ones. Would it be better for me to get some other type of pill that’s actually prescribed or would this work the same?
