You need to get back to the doctor who prescribed this med and discuss your symptoms with her/him. If the symptoms you describe began after you started the BC pills, they could be side effects, but after 7 weeks your body should have adjusted to them. That you stopped them three weeks ago and these symptoms are continuing to worsen makes me urge you even more adamantly to see your doctor as soon as possible.

You can post your question on our Birth Control Forum and see what they can tell you.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine
