help me please!

hi everyone, i'm new to this board. i just got off my pills and i'm considering if i should get the pills again or switch to the patch. i'm not really sure, but i might want to stop altogether because i THINK i gained weight while on the pill. i gained 22 lbs since may of 2002 and i'm not sure if it was because the pills made my hormones go crazy. i do remember when i first started taking it, i was very moody for a few months. aren't the pills supposed to stablilize hormones though? i've also heard the pills make you get the munchies, and perhaps that's why i've been gaining weight. either way, please give me some advice on both please!

If you *think* you gained weight from the pill, the only way you'll find out is to get off the pill and stay off for a few months to see if it was the hormones or something diet-related.
