"this is the third time i am submitting a review for xulane. i was approaching 1 year using this patch, but discontinued it this past friday. over the past 6 months, i have had high blood pressure readings (extremely high). the only change i have made over the past year is switching from ortho evra to xulane. my doctor thinks this is causing my high blood pressure. not only that, but i have been having headaches, which i never had prior to taking this patch. not sure if anyone else has had an increase in blood pressure, since they started this patch? i hoped i was not the only one. anyone else?"
