I had the same thing happen a while back, myself.
My doctor recommended for me to use the patch since I get very painful cramps. These patches don't contain progesterone though, they contain ethinylestradiol and norelgestromin. Either way, the first day or two I was fine, then the next few days I noticed I was crying and getting upset at small things, but wrote it off as shark week symptoms, even though I never got those specific ones before. Then came monday, and obviously, I had to go places. Well, I actually cried maybe about two or three times during the day, but I felt my eyes tear up and had to try my hardest to suppress it about twenty times, and I'm really not exaggerating about that. Then evening came around, suddenly I broke down and cried for about three hours straight, then at some point I must have fallen asleep from exhaustion, woke up a little later again and cried for a few more hours before falling asleep again. I was in absolutely no state to even leave my room the next day, so I just stayed at home. Now keep in mind that I normally never cry or get upset about things.
Obviously, this was definitely not good, and things were still getting worse, since it had been much less only a few days ago, so I decided it was definitely not worth it and ripped the patch off. The crying and being upset part disappeared completely in something like 24 hours, maybe a little more.
Either way, definitely not going to try that again. I'm not sure whether it was a good idea to rip it off and stop using it just like that, but if things get too bad for you, I would probably recommend stopping immediately. A fair warning though, you will probably start shark week within a few days of stopping.
