I had this patch on for a few days and it was fine at first. However, after about a week my body hit complete exhaustion. I was sleeping for 16 hours straight, crying non stop, and pains in my body. My calves were cramping to the point where it hurt to walk. I had to stop this patch

3 months in and still experiencing persistent mild, period like cramping. Patch leaves a bumpy area of skin when removed, very obvious that it had been there even days after removal

Didn't affect me at all physically but it made me very insecure, obsessive, and have terrible relationship anxiety. I didn't feel like myself and took it off after 5 days.
