anyone patching it out? is it worth a try?

my sister is using the patch and random sidenote: you would THINK that because its a new-ish product (versus the BandAid) that it would be produced in different flesh tones. but noooooooooo shes got this hideous 2" square on her shoulder blade.

i suppose clear ones would be way too much to ask?

I am! It's not so bad, except when I put it on my lower back and my shirt goes up...LOL.

You should give it a try!

I tried the patch. I never felt sick as a result of it, but I'll never go back to it simply because I have ultra-sensitive skin and it felt like someone was constantly holding a flame to my skin (at the patch-site). I thought I could tough it out and get used to it, but I gave up after three months. It took almost six more months for all the patch-site redness to completely go away. Never again!

I tried the patch and didn't like it. The adhesive is very finicky---either it doesn't last the whole week & falls off, or it REALLY sticks to you and is hard to get off after the week is over.

I got really sick for the time I used the patch, and I had never felt any symptoms when I was taking the pill.

Plus, since i'm on a budget (college grad, no job) it wasn't work paying the $40 a month when I could get my pills for $5 (and i haven't had problems with generic brand I have).
