Quitting the pill.

Hi ladies, I have a quick question. Has anyone here stopped taking their birth control pill due to the side effects? I've been on the pill for a year now and I've decided to go off for various reasons. Since I've been on them I have been cold/flu symptoms more frequently, I've been struggling with chronic yeast infections, I get terrible headaches, and I'm irritable all of the time. I know these are some of the side effects of taking the pill and I am fed up, and I want to feel better overall. What should I expect to happen after I stop them? I know my horrible acne I had before will probably come back, and my boyfriend and I will have to use condoms more. Share your thoughts please!
