I was on the pill from 16-21, I didn't go off until I got married and was starting to prepare for getting pregnant. Now, a year later after having gained about 50 pounds and turning into an old hag with the excess hair and awful acne I have been diagnosed with PCOS. They tell me that the pill had been supressing the symptoms of PCOS. So until it is completely out of your system, you probably won't know what is the pill and what is the other meds. Be careful, if you dtart to notice changes in your appearance, try to do something before it gets out of control. I wish I had been diagnosed before going off the pill so I wouldn't have felt so awful. Hopefully being on the PCOS meds for sometime already will help with your side effects.

God Bless
