"i was so upset to hear that my insurance no longer covered ortho era. i absolutely loved that patch! i never had any side effects and it even decreased my appetite to where i lost a decent amount of weight over the year i was on it. unfortunately, i&#039;m about to start my 3rd patch of this one and have had terrible experience with it so far. i love the ease of only having to change it once a week but the symptoms so far aren&#039;t worth it. i have bloating, constipation, headaches, tiredness, tender breasts, terrible mood swings/depression, acne, and i&#039;m constantly craving sweets! i&#039;ve been eating like a total hog. i plan on sticking with it, hoping that the symptoms will subside. i will update after a few months of taking it if my symptoms get any better."
