This is how I feel exactly! Everything you have said I have also been going through. I wanted to try the Nuva Ring because it would be easy and I wouldnt have to think about it, but I think about daily. I feel like im going nuts and emotionally unstable. My doctor never told me about any side effects and wikipedia didnt help. Thankfully I saved two packs of my birth control pills and next week when I take it out I hope to feel like myself again!
thank you for your post. this is exactly what happened to me. im 26 and had a fabulous sex life with my husband before nuvaring. and now, we have none. exactly what you describe is what my experience has been since ive been using nuvaring. anxiety? please. ive NEVER been anxious. EVER. and i had to go to therapy for over a year to help with my anxiety, which i now truly believe was a side effect from this medication. wt gain? ive had to go up 2 sizes since ive been on nuvaring. and i used to have an eating disorder years ago. do you know what this has done to my self esteem?! and the vaginal pain. holy shit. terrible. i am so glad to hear that this is not just me, that im not a crazy nut case. it so upsetting though, that this went on for me for over a year. i wished i knew sooner, i would have put an end to the nuvaring a long time ago.
