hivemind question on the pill

[flea]

Is it okay to go off birth control pills in the middle of a pack, or should I wait until the end of the cycle?

Because when the radio has a snippet about deaths due to a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe, and my brain goes, "I'd like a cholera outbreak so I could die," I'm thinking it's time to stop the pill.

You should probably call your doctor, but if you do go off the pill mid cycle, you'll get your period much earlier. Can I ask what you are on? Have you looked into a lower hormone pill? I have had a lot of trouble finding one that doesn't make me crazy(er), but Yaz has worked well for me.

I'm on Yaz.

I'm sorry. A friend had a similar reaction to yaz, and it was very scary. Please, call your doctor.
