Sucidal thoughts symptoms and conditions

I have been on Yasmin for 2 1/2 years and not until about in the past year, I have had the worst mood swings. Like to the point where I don't even know who I am. I get so crabby and bitchy and I don't want to be and have to reason to be.
I need to switch because it is getting worse. I didn't really think it was my birth control until I did some research. Now I know it is for sure the problem.
I have had suicidal thoughts twice in the past year...for no reason! And then all of a sudden I snap out of it. I get really depressed and I don't know why. It happens every like 3 months. Its so weird. I'm a really happy person but this pill is ruining everything. Oh and also within the past year, my sex drive has gone down about 75%, its horrible!!!!!

Ohhh Lord now as I am writing this to you all i am crying b/c my mother told me about this after she saw it on NBC Nightly news tonight now when she told me about the suicidal thoughts that people were having after taking this medication thats what opened my eyes b/c i thought it was b/c i was stressed or something I have these thoughts on and off and also the waking up for no reason in the night and the stomach ache i started having about three months ago I started taking Singular damn there 2 years now for my damn asthma that i got from when i was in the Army now what kind of craziness is that I definitely have bad mood swings im just upset and shocked about this I mean how can these so called Doctors prescribed these damn pills to us and we are bad off then when we stared after taking this stuff I am soo pissed off right now and you know what I am thinking about suing the FDA my damn self b/c this is not right

I'm 33 and have been on the ring for about six months now, until last night when I yanked the blasted thing out for good. I'm bipolar so I already knew I was crazy (lol), but over the past few months my symptoms peaked then flew right past the 10 on the 1 to 10 scale. Severe depression accompanied by headaches with suicidal thoughts that simply would not go away. I'm familiar with depression, but the thoughts of suicide are NOT normal for me. Also, I was massively tired and could sleep for days at time. I missed work and even checked myself into the loony bin (lol) because I could not get a handle on things. My doctors adjusted my meds and with the proactive steps I was taking on my own, I should have started feeling better, when in fact, I felt worse. I was beginning to feel like a hopeless cause when I decided to research side effects for the NuvaRing. To describe how I felt when I saw that I wasn't alone and that I might not be dealing with the "normal" symptoms of bipolar disorder: shock, anger, and then hope! I'm always forthcoming with doctors when discussing the meds I take, but there was never a question raised about the Ring so I disregarded it as a contributing factor as well. After reading so many posts detailing side effects that were so familiar I had to get that bad boy out and I'll be sure to post how I feel one way or the other. Either way, I'm grateful for the women who shared their feedback in such a candid way. It helps to know I'm not alone.
