Hi,
I have been on the patch for over a year now. I seem to be getting frequent headaches. Almost every day. I am curious if this is a common side effect of the patch? I am highly considering getting off the patch after hearing all the warnings about it.

Thanks,
Alison

It's possible that Ortho Evra is causing headaches. You should consult your prescribing physician.

I was on the patch for over a year and I too got frequent headaches. I usually get headaches anyways with birth control but now that I have switched, I have noticed I do not get them as much.
