How long after stopping birth control pills till side affects go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly soon: Usually, most side effects with birth control pills go away within 48-72 hours when one stops taking them. However the effects on your menstrual cycle being off or irregular may last 1-2 cycles at least.
