birth control
"I gave this patch a 3 because I want to be as honest as possible. I'm 26 years old, and switched from oral bc to the patch 4 months ago. Only pros; not having to take a pill everyday and that I'm not pregnant. The cons however are endless. I'm always tired. Im normally an active person but now all I want to do is stay in bed. Severe mood swings; my sister and boyfriend have pointed out that I'm always either depressed or behaving like an angry monster. Ive put on 15 pounds and my breast have gone up a cup size (not good since I was already a DD). I never got cramps before the patch; now they're so bad I can barely move for the first 2 days of my period. I also have severe back pain even though I haven't had any injury whatsoever."
