I took my ring out this morning. I have dealt with anxiety and some depression to varying degrees in my past, but lately it has been much worse for no apparent reason. I started having panic attacks and heart palpitations last fall, they told me I was fine physically, and there was no other explanation. I have irregular periods, so I was hesitant to stop using the ring, but I've made my decision. Before I spend hundreds of dollars going to specialists to try to help me, I'm going to see if taking the ring out improves anything, and based on all of the other posts here I suspect that it will. Just another FYI, I started the ring in the first place because my doctor told me it was a lower does than the Pill. The Pill gave me GALLSTONES 4 tears ago at 19 years old and I had to have my gallbladder removed! Then, when I was on vacation in Mexico, I had to go to the emergency room b/c I had symptoms of a blood clot in my leg. UGH! I was hoping the Ring would be different, but my elevated level of anxiety and depression and mood swings leads me to believe that it's not different at all. Overall, birth control is just not worth it. It is not worth sacrificing my sanity. Condoms here I come! lol.
