Well, I went off the Pill about a year or so before I went back to grad
school after being on for about 9 years ... and the post-Pill years were my
vocally most productive. Perhaps that's because I was focusing on the
technique exclusively w/o the day job hassles; perhaps it was the Pill. But
I was loath to go back onto it because I didn't want to screw things up.
Other people I know have had no
problems...
