Evra patch and high blood pressure

Went on the patch having been on the implant previously. On the implant I had lots of spotting which thankfully went away on the patch. However I have definitely noticed a distinct rise in anxiety since being on the patch over the last year - enough to stop me wanting to go to things like the theatre or going on tours without getting sweaty. I also think it's killed my sex drive so I'm going to go off it and seek alternative contraception. Its a shame because I do find it convenient and have felt very protected on it. My period increased its flow a lot during the period week and I also got bad headaches around that week which I wasn't used to. Sad to have to change but dont like the quality of life.

Was great for the first 6 months+ but then the last two weeks I've experienced itchy skin and burn red marks where the patch was - having to go back to the pill sadly. Before this would have rated 5/5. The mark it's left is so sore and feels like a burn and is scabbing up badly.

Loved this contraception at the beginning. Skin is clearer than ever, I only get the odd spot leading up to my “bleed”, haven’t noticed much weight gain (probably natural weight gain as I’ve aged but nothing rapid). My bleed is like clockwork every month on a Tuesday and usually lasts 4 days (easy to track). Although I’ve been on it coming up to 3 years now and think it’s time for a change. Weird discharge, lack of sex drive, dryness and terrible mood swings and depression - not sure if it’s just me or the patch, but I will cry over the smallest things. I feel so depressed. Another thing to note is everyone will ask what’s on your arm, and I went to Spain last week and my patch fell off twice with the heat that I’ve just had to take it off and either restart or change to the pill as the pill won’t fall off.
