Evra Patch side effects ? Posted: 01-16-08 01:42am
I have been on the Evra Patch for 2 years
now. Since I startded on it, I have gained
about 50 lbs, and have gotten very
depressed, and have a lack of energy.
Could this be caused from the patch?

Yes, and I would suggest quitting at the
end of this cycle and switching to
something else. Don't live with
preventable symptoms - switch!!

Yes, there are with any type of birth
control. But the patch has a higher risk
of blood clots than most types.
Every type of birth control has risks with
it. Some people don't like the patch
because this risk is slightly higher, but
it's still a remote risk.
