I was on Ortha Evra for almost 2 years. I really liked it. I liked the idea of not having to take a pill everyday, because I would always seem to forget, then have to double up the next day. The patch is small and I was able to wear a bikini, without it showing. I always kept it on the front because I was afraid that if I wore it on my butt, it would fall off without me noticing. It never once fell off. The only negative thing I did notice while I was using the patch is that I experienced heavier cramps and my sex drive started to decline after I was using it for about 6 months. But, all in all, I liked it.

I've had Fibromyalgia for a long time. The #1 thing, is to have a positive attitude. Get info. about this disease. Get moving. Start out slowly. Do what you are able to do, nothing more and nothing less. I know its hard to keep moving. But if u dont, ur stuck with no life. I've been down this road too. Get some physical therapy.

I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

I was only on Ortho Evra for two short weeks but I had terrible side effects. I switched to Ortho Evra from the NuvaRing because I completely loss my sex drive on that.
With Ortho Evra I was constantly worried about my patch not sticking or falling off (I tried it on my butt and upper arm). It began to loosen around the fifth day. The worst side effect was my swollen and tender breast. I already have very large breast, so anything bigger is a nightmare. I could not even touch my breast because they would begin to throb. I had to wear a regular bra and two sports bras to try and stabilize them so I would not have terrible pain.
I do not recommend.
