"nightmare! i was on the xulane birth control patch for 2 full months. i have felt like a complete zombie with no energy at all. i can feel depression, anxiety and mood swings getting worse. i&#039;m starting to get headaches and nausea which i have never experienced before. the patch doesn&#039;t stick very well on the skin. i&#039;ve gotten rashes and it&#039;s always itchy at the site. i&#039;m giving up on birth control because the crippling mental side effects are not worth it. i&#039;m going back to condoms forever. beware the mental/emotional side effects sneak up on you over time."
