Just got off birth control

So for awhile now, birth control has had an ill effect of my body. It would not regulate my periods. I would never know when I was getting them. Then I would be depressed around same time of month along with getting pains/cysts. Then along with various others. Has anyone else got off birth control and had positive changes? I'm unsure if I should try another method other than pill or just steer clear of it completely.
