I'm on my 3rd ring and i am miserable. The first week i put the ring in i noticed a differance. My symptoms are: extreme paranoia, anxiety,panic attacks,insomnia,shaking,nervousness,diarea,loss of appetite,fatigue,flu symptoms. I am normally an anxious person ut not like this. It is worse since starting the nuvaring. My doctor told me to just give it more time but i'm geting to a point where i feel hopeless. My family can see the change in me. I just put the 3rd ring in a couple days ago but all i wanna do is take it out because i'm so scared. I'm not concerned about pregnancy because i am not sexually active at all. My doctor prescribed this med because of my PMS. I'm using the ring every 3 weeks so i don't get a period at all. I'm afraid of how my body will react if i take the ring out and suddenly get a period again. My pharmasist advised me to leave it in until you would normally take it out but i don't know if i can stand using it anymore. Does anyone have any advice. I'm afraid to talk to my doc about the emotional symptoms because it always seems they never believe the med can cause them. Thanks for all who read this, wish me luck or send me a prayer. Everyone else who's miserable on this BC you're in my prayers :)

take it out! i was on it for about 2 months and became SEVERLY depressed and had severe anxiety. I do have anxiety but it was never like this. I couldnt even get out of bed to go to work in the morning, it became really bad. One day I went into the bathroom and took it out. Within one day I was a completely different person and back to my old self again. I know how you are feeling and its horrible. Take it out!! Feel better!
