I have been on the nuvaring for about 5 years and I seriously thought it was the best thing ever. I think i just started getting side effects that were bad enough to notice. I kept trying to place them with other reasons like stress. The vaginal dryness,the burning, the itching the spotting and that brown discharge. I have been steadily getting more depressed and anxious, i feel sad constantly and FREAK out on my boyfriend. I also want to sleep, i just feel wore down that could also be contributed to the depression. I did gain about 15 lbs when i first started taking it but have since then lost it. I started when i was 16 and now im 21. My boyfriend thinks i like someone else or im with someone else cause i just don't seem very turned on by him. It sucks. I am very certian switching is a great idea for me, it just sucks cause i can be very unsteady with pills. your not going crazy. ha. i need suggestions on a good pill.

Unfortunately, it's quite a guessing game on how each pill will affect and interact with your body. Hence, the reason there's so many brands out there for women to choose! Many women prefer to go with low estrogen pills, as they tend to have fewer side effect issues, though everyone can have side effects with anything. It's all a matter of patience and perseverance to keep trying different types until you find one that works for you. I suggest talking over with your doctor, as they will probably be able to discuss your options.
