I went on the ring about a year ago and I have loved it. I have been having a problem when I drink too much alcohol though and I am not sure if it has to do with the ring. Whenever I drink to the point where I don't feel good and I have a headache, I get really suicidal and freak out. My boyfriend noticed a few days ago that these episodes started around the same time I got the ring, but we aren't quite sure. Has anyone else ever had any experiences like these? I would like to know as soon as possible so I can take it out. Also, I would like to know if there are any other birth controls that people would recommend besides the pill. I don't like having to remember to take them every day.

Wow!!!You know I usually go to dinner and have a glass of wine ir two and lately with nuvaring, I feel horrible when I go to bed. I wake up thirsty, can't sleep, irritable and with horrible headaches. Also, lack of sex drive. I thought it was me but glad someone else can relate. I am now freking out as to whether it comes out easy or not. I have to take it out today and can't wait!!!

Yeah, my hangovers are 10X worse than they have ever been. And the next day I'm am extremely moody and depressed (alcohol IS a depressant, but this is more than I've ever experienced). Before Nuvaring, I would have the regular hangover: cottonmouth, dehydration, the need to eat greasy foods:)
Now: all of the above with a high emotional sensativity. if my husband and I get in an arguement, it's blown out of proporation (by me) and even a commercial will make me cry...WTF!

Ever since I have started on the NuvaRing I have had SEVERE headaches especially when drinking. I can have a few sips of alcohol and I get a headache instantly. The next day my hangovers are 10 times worse than they were before I started using the Nuvaring. I also get really bad night sweats, racing heart, chest pain, and anxiety. I have been to multiple doctors and they say that nothing is wrong.. I never thought it was the Nuva Ring, but it all makes sense now...
