"i&#039;ve actually had no health problems at all with the patch so far and i&#039;ve been on it just over a month now. i read up on it beforehand and the reviews were playing on my mind but i&#039;ve had no sickness, no headaches and no spotting which has been great! i&#039;ve been wearing it on my bum (alternating sides each week) for a few weeks and this seems alright but i&#039;m trying my inner arm now. 

the only downside of this i&#039;ve had is the pain when taking it off - i thought it would be like taking a plaster off but it&#039;s much worse!! like getting an unwanted wax each time. granted this means that it stays on for a week! 

this is enough to put me off the patch and i&#039;ll be trying something different next time."
