I am 25 and started taking bcp last October. I have tried 3 different ones so far and I'm not having any luck. I decided this month to stop taking it and I have already lost weight, feel more in control of my emotions, stopped getting headaches, anxiety is gone, and my acne cleared up. I'm confused because I thought bcp was supposed to help with all of that but for me it seems to be opposite. I went on it for the purpose of not getting pregnant but I just wasn't feeling like myself. Anyone else have this happen? Also now I'm nauseous and cramping it's been about a week and a half since I stopped talking my bcp.
