I have been on the patch for close to three years and it works great. I am also very bad about taking pills everyday and depo was horrible for me. The patch is very easy to use and it's 99% effective.

I think it kind of depends on how much you weight. If your over weight it will not work as well. Just be careful because I have heard of a lot of women getting pregnant on the patch. But my best friend was on it and loved it. I think it depends on the person. I tried to have it on but knowing there was a sticker on my butt bugged the hell outta me.
Good luck.

whats the patch? Iv never heard of the patch. I have been on several different pills and they all make me psychotic!! I go from happy go lucky to SERIOUS mood swings, depression and my libido goes thru the floor!! I'm currently on the mini-pill and fingers crossed I dont get those effects, but if not I'm out of ideas since I hate shots! So wats this patch??
