I am on sprintec birth control to help with my acne. i dont want to be on any kind of birth control though. how can i get off it without breaking out?

See dermatologist: If the birth control pills are controlling your acne then you will probably break out when you stop them. See a dermatologist for advice about what to try so that you can stop the pills and not break out.
