birth control
"I was on the patch for a total of 24 hours.  By the end of this time I was at work trying my hardest not to pass out and get sick at the same time - took it off and felt completely fine within 20 minutes.  From the research I've done, these types of symptoms usually last a few days after you apply a new one, and if I'm applying a new one once a week, that's living in agony 50% of the time!   I very rarely get side effects from medication/birth control so this surprised me.  You are also at a higher risk with this type of birth control as your body is absorbing a much higher dosage of estrogen compared to the pill.  



Needless to say, I quickly made an appointment at my doctor to get back on the pill."
