"i have been on the patch for two years previously it was prescribed to me to treat polycystic ovaries. just recently got back on it and i am extremely shocked to read all those reviews. i have never gained weight on the pill if anything i have lost few pounds. i always had an issue with acne and patch helped to solve that too. first few days on the patch can&#039;t be classed as the nicest as i felt dizzy and vomited few times however that stops relatively quickly. i can&#039;t relate to the mood swings at all . i can only recommend and say in my experience patches are relatively good compared to other methods of contraception."
