Considering coming off the pill due to recently fainting- may not be the reason but still. any precautions or anything to look out for? is it easy to?

Fainting: If you have lost consciousness you should be seen by a doctor and evaluated. There are many potentially serious causes and these need to be excluded. Birth control pills are an unlikely primary cause but other complications of the pills can result in this (i.e., pulmonary embolism from thrombophlebitis, etc.). Please go and see your doctor and be worked up. Best wishes.
