Hi! This site is a relief!! I started the NuvaRing and nine days later I had my first ever panic attack. I have NEVER felt anything like it before! I immediately took out the ring, but I have had more panic attacks and serious anxiety since the first one, and I have completely lost my appetite (and I usually love to eat!). I have now been off the ring for 15 days and I still don't feel right at all! I am taking Xanax as a sort of band-aid for the anxiety, but when is this going to end??? Has anybody had symptoms like these go away - how long does it take?? I feel for all of you who are having problems with this drug - hopefully we'll get through it!
