I just pulled the ring out tonight in the middle of my 3 weeks because it finally hit me!!! The light bulb just came on for me. I had been feeling incredibly sad and depressed for the last 6 months since I have been on the ring. I thought it was not like me, but I thought it was job stress. I was moody with everyone around me all month long...very irritated and not wanting to be bothered. I am a teacher and even my students noticed my moods. I had no desire to enjoy the things I use to enjoy. I walked into my school 2 days in a row and had sharp pains in my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack or something, but then it went away. I am on summer break now with a lot of time to think. Something told me to check out the side effects of the ring. Maybe it was divine intervention. I was shocked and almost cried when I found out that I was not alone. I even saw one person report swollen and red eyes. I had this also and thought it was allergies or pink eye, but now I understand that it was probably the ring since I have never had this reaction before. I enjoyed the freedom of not remembering the pill, but I don't think I will ever use the ring again. It definitely affected my personality and judgement.

First of all, finding this website and these stories is a divine intervention! I have a 3 year old that started on singular for food and mold allergies about a week and a half ago. Immediately he complained of an upset stomach which the allergist told us may happen but that was it. The days ahead he became a totally different child - angry, overly emotional, moody, and the only thing new was the Singular. His brothers saw the drastic change too. Thank goodness the worst was over our Spring Break. I am in a support group called MOCHA(Mothers of Children with Allergies) and thought I am going to email everyone my story and see if anyone else has experienced what we had. ( My Dr. also told us he had no complaints on the drug and it was safe. I decided after 5 days, that I was taking him off of it to see if his personality would return. Well, with in a day only off of it, he was not as agitated and less angry so I knew it had to be it.) Almost all of the responses were negative and people were so relieved that it wasn't in their head and that it was the drug. Since just yesterday, one has also decided to take her son off of it. And I am sure many others are going to follow even to just see if by being off of it for a week any of their old self returns. This drug at least for children should not be prescribed!
