What is the best recommended time to take a break from the pill??

Answer:
You don't need to take a break from the pill aside from an occasional period (4 times a year at least).

I think this totally depends on you. Talk to your doc about it, as going off the pill can whack out your cycle for a bit until your body adjusts to it, i.e. spotting, shorter and/or longer cycles. It's also something you don't want to do in the middle of a pack - wait until you've had a period (get to the placebo pills) to stop taking it altogether. Again, talk to your doc. You may also want to talk to them about WHY you want to take a break to see what alternate methods might be available to you.
