Contraceptive Patch

[Caitlanfin]

Hey everyone!

Had a doctors appointment the other day and she's prescribed me contraceptive patches. I put the patch on at about 10am this morning - it's now 11.30pm, and my whole body is itching like hell.. mostly my legs and scalp - I even went and bought anti dandruff shampoo today even though I've never had dandruff before. I keep getting twinges of cramps and nausea.

Anyone else had the patch?? Experience any of these side effects?

Please let me know!!

I'm afraid I've not tried it but I would check the PIL online seek advice in case it's an allergic reaction.

Yes. I had a reaction to the patches too and needed them promptly stopped! Are they leaving a big red mark too? You sound like you are allergic to them I would take some antihistamines and contact your doctor tomorrow good luck
