Problems after stopping Dianette

I stopped taking Dianette 7 weeks ago and haven't had a period since. I had a light bleed a few days after I finished, but since then nothing.
I was prescribed Dianette about a year ago to help with my skin (and it did eventually help), but I decided to stop using it because I've put on at least 10 pounds since I started it.
Since I finished, my skin has become really oily and my acne is much worse than it was before. I'm feeling really fatigued and I've also been getting quite painful cramps for about a month.
I'm hoping somebody can help shed some light on this problem for me because I'm starting to feel a bit worried!!

I'm just wondering if this is normal because I had taken a different, lower-dose, pill before and had regular periods right after I stopped taking it but this time its very different. Is this normal with Dianette? What can I do to get my body 'back to normal?!
