"better than lupron for side effects. i&#039;m not a smoker and i don&#039;t have family history of blood clots, so this is a good pain control method for endometriosis &amp; pelvic pain.  over 5 years my breast size got too big, so big my back is sore and i have 2 bulging discs.  went from 36d to 36g.  sex drive is fine, first month only is bad side effects (moody, moody, moody). lighter periods. lost 10 pounds over 5 years (not patch related, i&#039;m guessing). happy with this drug except for breast size problem."
