"although i love that i only need to change my patch once a week instead of taking a pill everyday, i hate the patch.  i&#039;ve been on it for 3 months and took my last patch off for good today.  i&#039;ve gained more than 25 pounds!  i&#039;m constantly hungry no matter what or how often i eat (i normally have great self control). also i have had on going cramping through my entire cycle.  my periods are not any shorter, lighter, or less painful. my acne has gotten worse. i have sudden and fierce mood swings and am more emotional than i was when i was pregnant.  the only good thing i can say about it is i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant, and even then, i haven&#039;t had sex since starting it, so that doesn&#039;t even count in my book.  hate it."
