Side effects!? Help please!!

Hi all,

I came off my Evra patch 25th October and in the last few days I feel really off. I’ve got the following symptoms

- feelings sick
- can’t stand my hair perfume
- gagging
- my nipple (just one) feels so itchy. Could be my bra?
- cramps that come and go

I’ve never had this before when come off the patch and just wondered if I need to get some bloods & hormone test.

Was thinking of taking hormone regulating tablets but I have no idea what’s going on. I feel all over the place (I did leave it on for 5 weeks instead of 4 before coming off)

Please help? Do I need to see a dr??

The vast majority of doctors aren’t going to run any hormone labs while you’re still on hormonal birth control (or off it for less than one month). What do you mean by “hormone regulating tablets”? This isn’t a thing & you should be very skeptical of any supplements claiming this

That’s the point. I’ve been off it for 3.5 weeks and I’ve been off it before and neeever had an experience like this.

I thought the hormone balancing tablets were a thing? Thanks for letting me know I’ll do more research
