I have recently stopped using the b/c patch because of the side effects I was experiencing (i.E.Breast tenderness,heavy periods,bad cramping)i read that it also causes high blood pressure. I have been off of it for a week now and my headaches seem to be getting worse

does anyone know if high blood pressure can cause headaches?

I was on Ortho Evra and had the same problem. My headaches were so bad that I threw up. Give it some more time to get out of your system. I did get better.

I got off birth control too because of the intense migraines and headaches..Also the patch left dark patch marks on me. I had to use cocoa butter for a month straigh to get rid of it. I had them for about 3 weeks after then they left..Maybe try a women's 1 a day multivitamin to help you..good luck.. Smile
