    So I'm gonna come off the pill soon and was wondering if there might be any potential side effects I can expect. So ladies, your experiences?

    I'm assuming it is different with everypill and of course everybody. But I was on Loestrin24 I gained like 10lbs. and that was normal the Dr. said. And when I was taken off of if I ended up lossing those 10lbs. plus like another 15. I didnt have any dependency issues or what not, and my Dr. said lossing weight is typical in younger women.

    I've gone off it a few times and started again...but each time I go on or off it I go through periods of extreme emotion for a little while but it goes away after my hormones settle down.

    different for each person though methinks.
    good luck!

    I have only stopped for a month and it wasn't pretty. My period never came, and my face broke out, and I think I was more emotional... so I'm scared to go off of it now which sucks. Let us know how it goes!!

    Well thats happened to me too. I think I went off when I was supposed to get my period, got my period, waited a month or so and never got it again and I probably wouldn't have had it for a long time...

    Honestly, I've stopped several times and nothing happened and I really had no bad side effects with the pill while I was on it either (only stopped taking it when I either had insurance issues or the mail order pharmacy screwed up). I guess I'm just lucky?
