I was on Ortho Evra for a couple years and LOVED IT!!! I did have issues with the patch staying on. I have very dry skin and it would flake and cause the patch to loosen. The only place I could get it to stay was my upper arm, which was embarrassingly exposed during the summer months. But I had NO negative side effects. Except once I got a rash where the patch was, but I believe that was from some new lotion I had just used. I would still be on Ortho Evra if the lawsuits didnt scare my doctor! She refuses to prescribe it anymore because of the lawsuits. Its a shame because it was the perfect option for me. One thing to note though, you MUST be diligent about replacing the patch on the right day. twice I lost track and was a day or two late changing the patch, and I kid you not, BOTH times I got pregnant!! It was a good thing, because i love my girls and they came at perfect times. Just a little unexpected!
