Side effects of ortho evra (the patch)?

About a month ago my doctor put me on Ortho Evra. I decided to go with the patch cause it seemed easier than a daily pill. Anywho... The last week or so I have had sore breasts, increase in appetite, and a BIG increase in fatigue. I have found several sites and ppl who say that the pill causes this but not so much about the patch. Another concern that I have is that I have bled for a straight month. The doctor said that part was normal but I haven't spoken to her about the symptoms yet. I did have unprotected sex so it's not impossible that I could've gotten pregnant before the birth control. But I don't think that's the problem. Are these symptoms normal and if so how can I detour the cravings? I weighed 130 before the patch and am now 136 and I would really like to stay in shape but can't stay away from the food...
