Side Effects of Stopping The Pill?

I’ve been on the pill for 5 years, and I’m thinking of stopping it for a month (and then possibly for good) to see how my body reacts. Before I started the pill, I had terrible cramps and bleeding to the point where I would have to miss school. With the pill, the pain and bleeding has gone down significantly. My main reason for wanting to go off the pill is to see if it will help with things such as my anxiety, depression, and ability to focus and retain information. Has anyone ever stopped the pill and felt any better or will stopping just screw up my cycle and hormones to the point where I’ll feel even worse? Any input is much appreciated! Thanks!
