I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCED ANY SIDE EFFECTS COMING OFF THE PILL. I WENT OFF THE PILL THREE MONTHS AGO AFTER A LONG TIME USING THEM AND I'VE EXPERIENCED WEIRD SIDE EFFECTS. IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER WITH TIME BUT STILL FEEL A BIT WEIRD. I WILL APPRECIATE YOURR EXPERIENCES. IT WILL HELP A LOT. THANKS

    Hi Lisa,
    I was on birth control for about 5 years. I gained 25lbs from them so I chose to stop them. Now I have a copper IUD that is non hormonal but still an effective contraceptive. When getting off the pill I experienced, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and my brest hut a lot. After about 2 months off the pill I was not experiencing any more side effects.
    Good luck sorry about your side effects but they are normal and everyone can experience different things.
