I was very scared of stopping bc pills. On forums I read that side effects of stopping bc can be more severe than taking them. It takes a long time for our bodies to regulate hormone production disturbed by long-term use of bc. So after sopping bc some women would not get period for 3-4 months, some would need up to 2 years. Hair loss, acne, weight gain/loss, anxiety, panic attacks, mood swings were also mentioned as side effects after stopping bc. Again I was seeking help with doctors (I decided to see a few), hoping that they can at least help me and maybe tell me if I need to somehow prepare my body before quitting bc. But no, the answer was if you want to quit, just stop taking pills at any time. They have suggested to wait until the end of the pack and quit. I knew that I had to quit and I did, in August 2010.
By that time my acne started to reappear. It was very mild, just a few pimples. Again I talked to my doctor. And she said that it's no problem and it should go away on its own.
