"i am 23 now, and i have been on xulane for almost 2 years now. i have had no noticeable change in moods, sex drive is normal (there seems to be a spike towards the end of the third week, but no complaints there), 
and i&#039;ve had basically no issues with it. the only way i got side effects was if i strayed from the schedule either by accident or i lost a patch and had to go without. 

ortho evra - the other &#039;brand&#039; on the other hand.. did not agree with me. i had horrible nausea starting up every week i put the patch on, and slowly got accustomed to it after months of nausea. 

i would clarify with your doc which one they would give you. also, since all bodies are different, maybe one won&#039;t work with you but the other will. who knows."
