The nuvaring should not be legal. It made me insane and violent and gave me racing thoughts. I could never sleep. I was mean to people. It made me itch like hail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.- Here is a comment from my boyfriend who got very upset because of my side effects on the NR:
"She went crazy one night and threw something across the room for no reason, because she said something to me that made me furious. She was completely irrational and i though she was being possessed by Satan. Than, we found out it was THE NUVARING ALL ALONG!"

I am a 48 year old with 4 children. I am not showing signs of menopause at all. I have had increasingly heavy periods, sweats, headaches, mood swings, the whole nine yards so what the heck, I had mirena inserted today. My doc encouraged me to try it to see if my periods would get lighter or even stop. As far as side affects, I am already half psyco according to my daughters. I am still crampy off and on but I expected it. I just switched to this doctor because I was seeing satan who knowing I was very anemic from heavy periods let me almost bleed to death. I skipped two months due to low progestin but still built up the lining so when I was getting ready to have a period the third month, I went in for an ultrasound. The technician was wowed at how thick the lining was. She commented to me that I was going to have a really bad period when it started. My doctor did not advise me to do anything about it. He could have said to call if it went for longer than a week or to call if it was extra heavy but he didn't. My period was at almost three weeks and very heavy. I went to work on my birthday no less, and my potassium bottomed out as well as electrolytes. I felt so sick I went to lay down on the bathroom floor but felt nausea and cramps and thought I needed to use the toilet. When I sat down, I felt my arms and legs go numb. Out of vanity, I tried to stand and pull up my pants knowing I was passing out. I went down and ended up fracturing the fibula in my right leg. My friend knocked on the door and I came around and asked her to call the squad. After my 10 minute $750 ride in the squad, I was admitted to the hospital with a hemoglobin of 6. I stayed in for 5 days receiving 4 units of blood. Needless to say, I found the new doctor. My hemoglobin is now around 14 and I am starting to put weight on my leg. Hopefully, I am on the mend. I know there is a lot of negative response about the Mirena, but I don't have anywhere to go but up. I hope it works for me. If not, I will be on my way to the ER for an ablation.

Oh my HELL!
Here's my story...
Well, first of all I am SO happy to read all of these posts.
I have been on the NuvaRing for about 8 months now... At first, it was GREAT! I had no side effects, I could maintain my weight, even my skin cleared up... But I don't know what all the sudden triggered it but here goes the list...
Nausea
Heartburn
Diarrhea
Headaches
DIZZINESS - and this is scary people, especially for someone like me who's never experienced anything like it
light sensitivity
ANXIETY - this also freaked me out... I'm a singer, I do all kinds of stuff on stage, but I'm SCARED!? all the sudden??? this makes no sense!!!
loss of sex drive
mood swings
fatigue
dry mouth
sore joints
acne worse than when i was 18
And the thing is, it worked, WELL, for a long time. But now, I'm convinced. The NuvaRing is Satan... even if it seems to work in the beginning... don't be fooled... I won't use hormones ever again. Ever.
I'm going to be fitted for a diaphragm and that's that. I can't wait.
Thanks for all the support!

Good evening all....I as well as you all have a story to share about my son. Kameron lived the terrible twos to the fullest and turned into the biggest sweetheart when he turned 3. But then his doc wanted to try something stronger for his allergies and thats when Singulair changed out lives. Kameron has been on that junk since about November/December and since then everyones lives around him has been pure hell. He turned into satan in the flesh. I have never seen as much anger as I do in my son. On a weekly basis we go through stomach pains, depression, anger issues, him not eating for days, many sleepless nights, and thats not even all of them. He has spit in my husbands face and called me very bad words (that nobody has ever used in front of him towards me), Ive walked around with black eyes from him (remember he is only 3), he has given me bloody noses and straight up told his dad and I both that he hates us, and doesnt love us anymore. We cant take him around our friends children cause he is very abusive and controlling with them. He shows no interest in the things that he once loved, like his toys and pets. We have taken him to the doc and have been told over and over again that he is just a typical 3 year old but a mama knows when something is wrong with her baby!!I havent seen my sons precious smile since this stuff has taken over him or even heard him laugh. Im taking him to a different doc tomorrow and takin all of your comments with me and I am not leaving his office till they do something for my son!! My thoughts n prayers are with all of you that are goin through this cause I myself now how hard its been..

I HATE desogen. It's the pill sent directly from the devil himself. I have never felt so lazy, tired, sick, bloated, gassy, disgusting, in my entire life. I have only been on it for not even a full month yet, and I am ready to kill someone. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, I hate my roommate, I cry when my boyfriend leaves the room, my co-workers drive me insane, and this all started the day I began this dreadful tablet of DOOM! I am always active, happy, spunky, and thin. This spawn of satan ruined me. Desogen gave me an awful itch and gross poop. I am switching to YAZ. Dont go to Planned Parenthood for a prescription-they automatically give you this one.

I was on Levaquin in February of 06. Although it helped the sinus infection, the price has been great. I had severe burning and tingling in my lips. Lower lip still numb after 20 months. Soreness and weakness in fingers--sprained two fingers while doing routine things. Stabbing pains in soles of feet, decreased over 4 months. Excruciatingly sore Achilles tendon, especially sore to the touch. Large muscle twitches in arms and legs. Decreased over several months. Ear ringing began--still have it. Dramatic increase in floaters in eyes also during the course of the drugs--still have them. Serious back problems began then also, with 4 herniated discs being diagnosed 5 months later. I have read that connective tissue damage may result from Levaquin. I feel that everthing that stated then is related: back, ears, eyes, numb lips, hands, etc. I checked with my doctors office, told them the symptoms, and I was instructed to keep taking the drug if I wanted to get well. But I only spoke with a nurse. . .shame on me. Good luck to all of you.

I was prescribed this drug for a lung infection. The doctor told me I would be feeling much better fast. Not the case. I have had increased tightness in my chest, vomitting and shaking. I feel like crap and my cough has turned into an angry heave, that sounds like satan himself is trying to get out of my body. Its pretty bad. I only have four more doses, so I will carry on to the bitter end. My heart goes out to all of you who have suffered so on this drug. Please take care, Christopher

I am a 57 y/o woman who was given Omnicef for a precaution after having skin cancer removed from my scalp. After 4 doses, I knew something was just not right. My stomach sounded like a bowling alley. Loud, rumbling noises, severe gas, had a horrifying dream about Satan last night that scared me to death, crying spells and now this morning a very loose stool. My dr's nurse told me to stop the med, but my stomach is still rumbling around. It's frightening to think that this drug is still being prescribed so freely.

Horrible Evil Nightmares!!!
The second night I took zoloft I had the most terrifying nightmare in my life. I woke up in the middle of the night in my bedroom with severe terror and then I felt as if I was possessed by Satan. I heard Satan's voice telling me to murder and eat my wife who was sleeping next to me. Then I began to attack my wife and tear away at her flesh, eating her alive and screaming and laughing hysterically. This seemed like it was going on forever. Then my wife woke me up. She told me I had been screaming in my sleep. I told her I had a nightmare where she was killed by someone. I love my wife very very much and I've never ever had a homicidal thought towards anyone, let alone my wife. This dream felt so real and frightened me so badly that I didn't take another zoloft again.

I've never done this so hopefully it goes where it is supposed to.... I am a 24 year old mommy of 2. I have been on wellbutrin (generic) since late march. So about 3 months. My problem wasn't really depression, but anger. I have always had a short fuse, but I was getting ridiculous with my 4 year old daughter and even I knew it. Well, I was on the 150 xl for a month and a half, then asked the dr. to switch me to something that I could take 2 times a day because the xl wore off right around 5pm and gave me headaches.... So now I am on 150 sr 2 times a day. I have to say that it really is helping me. I kinda feel emotionless sometimes, but I'll take that over feeling like I might rip someones head off. On top of working on the anger, so far I have lost about 25 lbs! I got on the mirena (huge, horrible, god awful mistake) after having my 2nd child and gained about 20 lbs in 1 year. (it also made me the reincarnation of satan)
-- By stacyc84 | Reply | Private Message meSo, good side effects: No longer angry all the time, no longer fat
And, bad side effects: No sex drive (may be due to 2 kids, not the pills), blurry vision, oily hair, dry mouth (which causes really bad breath in the morning) and I swear, I had Restless Leg syndrome when I was preggers the first time and it was HORRIBLE! It seems that now I have Restless feet syndrome :D My feet always feel like I'm spreading my toes apart (even though I'm not) Don't know what the heck that's all about, but figured I'd throw it in :D I'm also on YAZ which from what I read isn't the best BCP, so maybe I should get off of it.
