My doctor told me to stop taking the placebo pills in my birth control. my period has not stopped for five weeks since i stopped taking placebo pills. its very heavy and painful. is this normal?

Five weeks of heavy vaginal bleeding is not normal and can lead to anemia. The cause of your bleeding needs to be assessed and treated. Please try to see a gynecologist as soon as possible or go to ER if you become weak/dizzy.
