going off birth control

Ha
I need some help. I really really want to go off birth control. When I first started birth control last year, I was 150 pounds. I shot up to 170 in a matter of two months. My appetite was and still is outrageous although I am back down to 155 (not by healthy methods 🙁) but I've been consistently bloated since starting birth control and even when switching brands. I need some advice on how to transition off. I've read some horror stories where people gained a lot of weight, hair became greasy and got a lot of acne. I've never really had much of a problem with any of those before and my transition on it was seamless. I'm specifically on the Yaz generic right now, please help me!
