I have been on the orthro evra patch for
several months now. I do admit I thought
is was the form of contraception for me
because I had less of an appetite and I
had more bowel movements with the patch.
But......I am experiencing facial acne
lately which I had never had before and
depression. I wanted to know if anyone
one else experienced any of these side
affects. Also has anyone had side effects
after getting off the patch.

acne which i never had before and
depression and weight gain... I've gained
50 lbs since I started wearing the
patch.... I think I want to find something
different..

These are all symptoms of hormonal birth
control. If a specific type of birth
control is not working for you and you've
given it a fighting chance for a few
months then don't hesitate to change!!
