Going off BCP

jas

I (28 f) have been on birth control pill for over 5 years (alysena 28 day packs) and been sexually active with only my fiance. I would like to go off bc of deceased sex drive (1every 2 weeks), and increase emotional instability. I am also just sick of taking a drug without understanding its true impact in long term. I am not planning to get pregnant for a few more years so I would be using condoms moving forward. Please share your story...was it a good experience? Worth the back to heavy periods? Did it help with general and mental health? Did you have to keep track of your symptoms? Dd you consult you doctor first? etc.
