Worried taken mebendezanole every 2 weeks for 2 -3 months even though im sure i have got rid of pinworm. hav stopped. will anything bad happen?

That's a long time!: If you feel that your infection has cleared, there should be no reason to continue taking the medication unless your doctor advised you otherwise. There should be no ill effects from not taking mebendazole, except for recurrence of the infection if you are still exposed to the original source.
