"i&#039;ve only been on the patch for a few months, and i think it&#039;s much better than a daily pill.  two things are getting to me though--nausea and a little acne.  i&#039;ve never had any problems with acne before, and i&#039;m noticing some (not a ridiculous amount, but still more than i&#039;m used to) since i started the patch.  also, it seems like on my change day, i get extremely nauseous.  i work in a kitchen, so that makes it tricky.  i&#039;m going to try something else for a while, but i may be back on the patch afterward."
