Future school symptoms and conditions

I was using the NuvaRing for about 6-7 months. I started feeling quite a bit out of my head. I figured being a college student and nearing my graduation; that I was just a little stressed out and nervous about the future.
School long gone now, and still feeling weird, I decided to take a look into the side effects of the NuvaRing, since I had noticed the slight changes in my mood sometime after I began taking it.
I started out with a severely decreased sex drive. I joked how "wow this birth control works by making you not want anything to do with sex!" After a while, it wasn't funny anymore. I became uninterested in doing anything. I didn't want to be around friends anymore. I started getting snappy and easily aggravated at people, mostly my boyfriend and the people I work with. I started getting headaches a lot, which didn't help my mood, and I started getting really bad eye sensitivity to lights, which didn't help the headaches at all...
I started feeling horrible. Nothing was worth looking forward to. I was always anxious or nervous. I felt useless. The relationship with my boyfriend of two years was hanging by a thin thread.

I came across all of your comments about your experiences with the NuvaRing and I'm so glad I'm not the only one; I thought I was going crazy.

I love how nice and convenient the NuvaRing seems to be, but there is really nothing convenient about the things it has done to my mind, body, and my relationships.

No birth control is worth that much aggravation. I stopped taking it 2 weeks early, about four days ago. No real signs of improvement yet, but I'm hopeful that I'll soon be the same kind of person my boyfriend started dating.

I'm hoping to find a new form of birth control, but I'm mortified to get on another type that does the same things...
Has anyone switched from the NuvaRing after these kinds of symptoms and found something that works and doesn't do horrible things?
