"awful.  i was on the real ortho evra for years.  i lost my insurance and had to switch to the pill.  finally i got insurance and it covered the patch.  i had one glorious month of ortho evra back and then came xulane.  while i was paying for ortho evra out of pocket, i always wished there was a generic.  i was excited to try it... but then i did. i&#039;ve gained 20lbs over the past year after staying within a 5lb range for 10 years.  i eat healthy and exercise consistently. i&#039;ve had absurd levels of anxiety, had a decreased sex drive, and constantly feeling dry.  most importantly, the patches don&#039;t stay on.  at least 1 out of the 3 per month will fall off at least once.  what is the point?"
