Hi
Ive just started using Evra (2nd week) and it makes me feel really sick, does anyone have this same problem? If so does it ever subside?
Thanks

It's a common side effect, and it should subside after a few cycles. Try taking some cola syrup or Emitrol when you feel nauseated. If the nausea is too much, talk to your physician.

Same thing happened to me when I was on Ortho Evra. Then I started throwing up after putting on a new patch after a week of going without. It got to be too much for me and I gave up on it. I hope it works out better for you. :)
I also have this problem. It does get better once you get used to it. I also noticed that it happens when I first wake up if I hadn't had anything to eat. I just restarted the patch last week. Today I'm going to be putting on my second week patch. As long as I eat a little something when I first wake up it's not so bad. I remember last time I was on it I didn't notice the nausea after the first few weeks anymore. Good luck! I hope it passes for you. I also know that I am not using it for birth control because last time I was on it I ended up pregnant. I'm using it to regulate my period and stop my face from breaking out. So the nausea went away after a few weeks and then during my 5th or 6th cycle it came back and I started throwing up and turns out I was pregnant. So if I start needed it for birth control I will be switching to a pill or something else.

Hi, thanks for your replies!! I hate this patch, I am getting so many side effects!! I am thinking off taking it off before the end of course!!! I just wrote another patch asking if I can take it off before the end, is this ok?
