I have been on this since 2002. I've really gained the weight. I had a hysterectomy at 28, I'm 54 now. I'm thinking about getting off of it because I've been on it so long AND because of the health risks; weight gain, etc. Has anyone else been on it as long as me?

the patches leaves glue residual on your body and if one falls off you have missed the dose also its expensive but its definitely better than hot flashes and mood swings after the hysterectomy.
