Help with side effects of Patch
| Sun, 03-21-2004 - 9:54am |
I've been on the patch for 9 months now. At first I loved it because I'm a forgetful person, so I was always missing pills. The past few months though, it hasn't been great. I wake up nauseated at least once a week, I get migraines which I never got as frequently before as I do now, I've noticed my heart beat is a little irregular at times, and probably worst of all, I get violent mood swings. The mood swings are terrible. I'll be happy and cheerful, and then in five minutes I'll go from that to very angry and yelling at people for nothing. Then I start to feel bad about yelling, so I start crying and hating myself. I can't take a lot more of this and I'm worried about the strain it's putting on my relationships. Are all these things happening because of the Patch? And have any other women experienced things like this?

Are you under stress?
My doc is switching me to Mircette, she said it helps with mood swings..so we will see.
goodluck, and keep us posted!
