After 5 and a half years of being on some sort of hormonal BC, i've finally decided that i want to get off of it. I've tried a few different kinds and my last switch has been from yasmin to ortho tricyclen. I was too moody on yasmin (or so i thought) so figured i would go back to my first pill, ortho tricyclen. It's been two months since being back (yes i know it usually takes 3 months to get used to new pills) but i'm still miserable. I'm not as depressed but still very moody. I have worse acne, this is one of the biggest problems. My face feels shiny and greasy all day, and the only thing i can relate it to is the pill. I've tried changing my diet and drinking a lot of water, tried so many facewashes and nothing works. And my skin always clears up during the week i'm not on any pills, if that makes sense.
Most recently and most concerning is that i have started to have leg pains for the past two weeks. I know the symptoms of dtv quite well so i am keeping a close eye on the pain and check daily for swelling. I'm worried that being on the higher dose BC is increasing my risk.

So my questions are what should i expect when i come off the pills? Is there any chance my symptoms could get worse (skin, mood, etc?). WIll i feel like a totally new person? I've been on the pill since i was 16, so basically my whole adult life. My bf isnt too thrilled either, but we'll just have to be more careful. Also, if i do ever decide to go on the pill again (i'm going to go off of it for atleast 3-6 mo to get my system normal again) will my symptoms be much worse the second time around? I'd heard they usually are.
I'd love to hear from ppl who have been in this situation before.
THanks
