Started taking the Evra patch to help regulating my hormones and to help with bad health anxiety. The 3rd day I had it on resulted in me taking the patch off straight away due to immense nausea, panic, shaking and complete loss of appetite. 3 months later my hormones have been worse than ever with random crying and anxiety increasing throughout my cycle.

Came off this tonight after 6 weeks as I literally can’t cope with the 24/7 constant anxiety anymore. My skin on my body has also been a little itchy but my face has also started randomly reacting to normal skincare and make up that I’ve been using for ages.
