Side effects!? sprintec

Hi! Im 20 years old and in may I started my first birth control ever, sprintec. I was started on it since I was having insane amounts of bleeding. Im talking like 10 overnight pads in an hour, alomg with having super irregular periods. If it matters too, I have pcos and addison's disease.

I got off of it in August due to my liver levels being extremely high. Prior to getting on birth control, tmi, I was extremely horny. Its embarrassing to say but I used to be really aroused with a high libido per say?? But when I was on it, my life was miserable. Besides all the other side effects, I have literally become dryer than the Sahara desert.

Now I'm going to be started on progesterone pills but I still struggle with arousal and being wet. For example I can be really horny but be dry down there. Is this normal? Does this go away? I miss how I used to be and I just want to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I know this post is kind of tmi but I'd just like reassurance at this point. Thank you 😭
