Time to take symptoms and conditions

I have just started using NuvaRing and before it was time to take the ring out I started my period. I thought everything was fine but now my period has been on for 9 days and it is very heavy. Before NuvaRing my period lasted 5 days, I am afraid to insert a new one because I hate having such heavy bleeding. I have also been very moody. My boyfriend is constantly asking "Why are you so mean and hateful now?" Can anyone help me?

I have tried many types of birth control and I think this is the worst. I have been irritable and edgy since I put it in and yesterday I left class early because I felt tired, nauseas, and had a headache. I woke up feeling not much better today, and realized I was depressed too, so I decided to look into it on the web. It has all been the ring! When it is time to take it out this month it is not going back in. If any figures out a better way to prevent pregnancy please pass it on.

I have been on NR for 3 weeks now. My first thought was..."hey this is great, I don't have to remember to take a pill at the same time every day". But just after the first couple of days on NR I noticed that I was VERY moody. I feel constantly depressed and I am always tired. I also feel bloated and I have no drive to have sex with my husband. It sucks because now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I am not enjoying the time with my kids like I could be because I am so emotional and unmotivated. I think when it's time to take it out... it's not going back in. It's not worth feeling this way.

I went on NR in Feb 2006. I bled for over a month straight when I first went on it. Dr. said this was "normal," my body was adjusting, etc. I noticed a drastic decrease in my sex drive almost immediately after going on it. I have had sensitive breasts the entire time I have been on it; it's painful for my boyfriend to touch them. I also lactated when I first went on the NR, but chalked this up to resurgence in hormones or something I had stopped breast feeding a few months before going on the NR). I started taking meds for back pain and anxiety, and now I'm wondering if it had anything to do with side effects from the NR after reading comments on this site. I also did get one horrendous yeast infection. I agree with the person who posted that she starts to feel emotional about a week and a half before its time to take it out--- like super bad PMS; really moody,craving sweets, depressed, etc. I also did not bleed until Thursday or Friday after taking it out on my scheduled Tuesday, and my period was minimal- just a day or so. I did not put a new NR in on my scheduled day (Tuesday of this week), and I feel like a complete emotional wreck. I mean, even with the PMS and such while using it, I still felt relatively able to cope. I have been crying over everything the last few days, irritable and volatile, and I'm not one prone to volatile. I am wondering of anyone else whose gone off of it experienced anything like this... I'm hoping it's just my hormones balancing otu or something, but I feel like an insane person...

Been on warfarin about 3 weeks due to an a-fib condition.. Dose is 2.5mg a day. Since starting I cannot sleep, feel very tired and fatigued and slight sour stomach. Doctors say this is due to the a-fib but I don't think so. All I hear from my doctors is no side effects. Hs anyone else experienced these symptoms, and/or is there a website where I can find some answers.

I was prescibed propoxy after a surgery and I have found that I get a headache at the end of the 4 hours when it's time to take another one. Also I have a rash on my upper thieghs and on my lower stomach and I feel like I want to itch everywhere.

Dear Two Girls mom

I remember the blurry vision being realy bad first 3 months its settled a bit now but as SILKE said to be its worse around stress and being this your first period then thats also a factor.
Let me know the bp results, h9ow are you feeling otherwise.
The anxiety is always bad around period time i found so maybe thats a time to take perhaps something herbal eg chamomile tea or something to relax you so you are relying on a natural helper. DOnt get me wrong i totallyunderstand why you are on the paxil and zanax as im sure anyone here would i just dont want to see you go through another type of withdrawal thats all. I understand having kids and going through this is HELL i have 3 ages 10,7 and 2 so im there with you but battling it out each month now is gonna save you later i assure you....
You will get there and just like the others were there for me im here for you..........

I started topamax 25 mg then week by week increased ..,reason why is because i had a 45 day migraine... i had exhausted all of my vacation time from worked in 1 month of last year.. ( it was a mess) however a friend of mine recommended me to her dr and he increased my dosage to 200 mg a day and well my daily headaches dont come everyday and they are less severe when they do come.. yes i do experinece the tingling but that let's me know that its time to take another pill.. my body is on a time clock know . I can say I been taking the meds for a year now and it has helped me greatly./...

Please everyone who suffers from any of these symptoms, I would love an email asap as I feel like I am going crazy.
My dr prescribed buproprion sr 150 mg along with lexapro 20 mg about 3 weeks ago to help combat a major bout of postpartum depression. She had to wean me off of 40 mg of Prozac first from previous depression issues.
Since then, I feel as though I am losing my mind. I cry all of the time, I have pain in the middle of my right abdomen area that feels like a burning/indigestion feeling, I have no appetite at all, totally anxiety, terrible fatigue with even worse insomnia. When I do finally get to sleep, I experience HORRIBLE nightmares that last for hours. In addition, I have had multiple headaches and a few vomiting episodes.
The depression was so horrible that I feared the way I was feeling. Yet the buproprion has given me all of these new feelings and I am really affraid I will never feel normal again.
Should I give these new meds more time to take effect? Has anyone else used them for postpartum depression and felt these symptoms? Please email me at ****** I feel very alone in the ways I am feeling and would love to chat with someone who has had the similiar experiences.
Thanks

I took this with a sinus infection and fluid on my ears - second time to take the Guaifenex for the same illness. It said very clearly on the bottle to take with a full glass of water and believe me, if you do not take with a full glass of water, the meds don't work properly at loosening up the mucos and you will get a headache. Lots of headaches are caused by dehydration anyway. But I think many of you who have complained of a headache would find if you drank more water when taking the pills, it would go away. It is also a little harder to fall asleep but no harder than it is when taking OTC Sudafed. So I would recommend the Guaifenex - it works great at breaking up the junk that causes the infections.
