You obviously had a rather severe reaction to missing your pills. Some women can bleed as if it's their placebo week since the body has recognized very quickly that it's hormones have changed (due to missed pills).
You need to keep taking your pills as usual since you made them up as prescribed. Take an iron supplement if you feel dizzy or tired from bleeding so much. You may continue to bleed during your inactive week. Once you start your new pack, you should settle back down to normal. Please contact your doctor if you have further concerns.
