I have been using the patch for one week today.The last two days I have felt just overall ill.I have been fatigued and just sick feeling.Anyone else get this way from the patch? I am taking the patch off and calling my doctor tomorrow probably switch to the pill.

Should I do that go ahead and take it off tonight or take it off tomorrow and put the new on and call doctor? I really hate this I am finaly taking birth control again and now this crap.Maybe these symptoms will pass? Other then these symptoms I really like using the patch.I always took birth control pills years ago never had this problem with them other then one type make me feel like I had the flu so I switched.

I would highly recommend you get off the patch. I had a relative die from it. Do a google search and you will see lawyer ads. Do a search on any other pill and you will see no lawyer ads.

Yeah I took the patch I had on off this morning I was due for my next one but I have decided to stop.The thing was making me sick I believe I still dont feel all better this afternoon but I am feeling somewhat better.I was just very tired and ill feeling like when one has the flu.Probably too many hormones.I called my doctor she is on vacation ugh so im waiting for a nurse to call me back hopefully I can get a script for a low hormone birth control pill instead.
Hideout that is scarey im sorry to hear about your family member.I also smoke so I guess its better to take the pill anyway.

PLEASE get off the patch NOW!! I had a stroke a year ago because of the patch. It is exremely dangerous and I am working to get it off the market. Johnson & Johnson and Ortho MacNeil have been very successful at hiding the truth about this product. Go to [url]http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/ortho_evra[/url]
to find out just how bad this is, and PLEASE tell everyone you know! You may save someone's life!
