Snowflake, and others who want to know what happens after you stop, yes, I am MUCH better. (My original post was done on Oct. 31st.) My therapist has even noticed the dramatic change in me. Good to know the majority of my depression and severe anxiety was due to the NuvaRing. If I have an issue, it is nowhere near as bad as it was before. I have gotten my sex drive back, though haven't lost the weight yet. ;) Gonna have to work on that. I feel like my old self again and my relationship with my finance is getting better. Though a couple weeks ago, I had my first period off of it and after gotten a yeast infection. I have never had one before, and I am 25. I stopped it a little over a month ago, but it could take about 2 to 3 months for the hormones to fully be out of your system. So my advice to you would be next period, try something else. I am waiting a while until this is all out, then going to consider another option. Again, all birth controls affect people differently, so I am in no way bashing the NuvaRing. Wish it worked for me because it was convenient in other ways. Hope that I was able to help, and hope you feel better soon.
