Hangovers symptoms and conditions

Um I started taking Yasmin a month before I went to college, so I've been on it for about 2ish years now. I would say I have a lower sex drive, but I don't know if it's birth control or just me getting a little older. Other than that no problems, but I also started getting horrible hangovers when I started college too, which didn't ever happen before. I was wondering if anyone had notice that Yasmin and alcohol may cause severe stomach issues or if it just means as I got older my hangovers got WAYYYYY worse. I mean it's not just a normal hangover, my stomach hurts so bad I can't get out of bed. And it's not because I started drinking more in college, I would say I easily drink less now and no matter if I have 2 drinks or 10 I feel the exact same.

I went on the ring about a year ago and I have loved it. I have been having a problem when I drink too much alcohol though and I am not sure if it has to do with the ring. Whenever I drink to the point where I don't feel good and I have a headache, I get really suicidal and freak out. My boyfriend noticed a few days ago that these episodes started around the same time I got the ring, but we aren't quite sure. Has anyone else ever had any experiences like these? I would like to know as soon as possible so I can take it out. Also, I would like to know if there are any other birth controls that people would recommend besides the pill. I don't like having to remember to take them every day.

just started taking Adderall, though i am not prescribed. I went to my doctor and asked for it but she said no. I explained that I am often overwhelmed at work, I am a case manager and keeping on task with all of the work is hard. My doctor said when she was in med school, med students used to take it for that purpose.So anyway i bought 5 pills from a coworker. I seem to have super human energy, get all types of work done and stay focused all day. On the down side, in 5 days I have lost 3lbs., I want to lose weight, but not that fast. I have what I consider to be Adderall hangovers the next day, where I am extremely tired. I also have noticed severe headaches, every day that I have taken it, I crash by the end of the day at work and cant wait to get home, because I am so tired. My neck aches, and I had to change to a firmer chair at work, because all of a sudden my back is killing me, I also get insomnia and have to counteract the Aderall with Tylenol pm just to get to sleep. These side effects freak me out, and I don't know if I want to again ask my doctor for a script, but I get so much done at work, and I am heading back for grad school, I just don't know what to do? oh yeah, the pills that I bought were Adderall XR 30 mg.

I take 50mg daily. At first tingling in hands, and loss of taste of carbonates (like pop tasted flat all the time) that went away after a while. Lost weight, but gained it back within the year. When i drink alcohol I don't feel anything, even after several drinks, no hangovers. anyone else experience that? I can only guess its from the topamax, because I used to get terrible hangovers, and now I never do, and also I stopped taking it for a short while and while not on it I would get severe hangovers. NONE when on topamax. Has virtually changed my life on the otherhand, I used to get migrains DAILY! now I get them maybe once a month if that, and they are not nearly as bad.

I have drank alcohol on doxycycline and have only had worse hangovers. I laid down once and my acid reflux acted up pretty bad.

First off, I can't believe I found this site. For once I don't feel alone about having side effects from the Nuva Ring.

I'd been on Nuva for over 2.5 yrs when I left it at school and thus accidentally went off of nuva for a month and a half. I was shocked at how much better I felt after a few hormone-free weeks:

-I could finally drink alcohol in normal amounts and not get crippling hangovers the next day - before even just a few drinks would send me over the edge the next morning.

-My sex drive doubled. I didn't know my sexual capacity until going off of this. (Anyone have a favorite non-pharmaceutical contraceptive they'd like to recommend???)

-I don't get mood swings anymore- when I was on Nuva I knew that I'd get at least one day a month where I'd sit in bed and cry for hours, fully aware that I was being irrational. I was emotionally unstable for a whole week every month.

These are just a few of the many things I've noticed. I'm very disappointed that it took a mistake 2.5 years later for me to realize that it was because of Nuva.

I have been on NuvaRing for over 3 years. I really like the fact that I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday.

Anyway, I want to see if anyone else out there has the same side effects as me.

Before I was on NuvaRing, I used to go out to the bars at least 3-4 times during the WEEK, and have plenty to drink. I was able to get up, feel a little hungover, but get right on my feet about an hour after I woke up and get right to work. I'd sometimes get a headache, but it wasn't anything. It didn't make me nauseated either.

Now, my fiance is telling me that the reason that I get SO hungover, even after a very relaxed night of drinking, may be related to being on the NuvaRing.

I can go out and have 2-3 drinks and the next day, my head is pounding and I puke all day long. I can't keep anything down, not even water. I will take a sip of water and 5 minutes later, I have to puke it up to make my stomach feel better. When I get these "hangovers" I finally can start eating after about 6 pm, but I'll still have the headache all night long.

Do you think that the NuvaRing causes dehydration and after drinking it makes it even worse?

I am getting married soon, so I will be going off the ring and will hopefully be able to see if there is a difference.

Good luck to you all!
