I thought I was going crazy, I actually thought about going to a therapist. I over heard a woman at work saying that she got off nuvaring because it was making her depressed and paranoid that her hubby might leave her. I have been feeling the same thing and I 've been on it for about six years now. Sure it took a long time for me to get to this point but now it is just getting worse every month. I have the same symptoms you have written about. I'm definately taking the stupid thing out. It's not worth it. Thank you for your post. It helped me realize that I'm not chemically unbalanced I just need a different BC.
Your post made me feel so much better. I have been on Nuvaring for about 3 years now and have not had many problems until recently. My gyno took me off Nuvaring to see if it was causing my migrains and I also had to have a leep cone procedure because of an abnormal pap. I was off of it for about 3 months and started back in June. Since then, I have had horrible migrains and cramping like crazy. Also, the last two months, after taking out the nuvaring on a Sunday, I have not been starting my period until the next Sunday and it has only lasted two days! My periods have always lasted at least 5-7 days. I am going to call my doc and see what I can do. Thanks again for your post.
I AGREE with everything -- especially your last point -- I was on the Nuvaring as well for nearly two years with few problems. Was off it for nine months and now I'm back on -- the only difference now is I live in Australia instead of the US, and have noticed side effects twentyfold from the Nuvaring, so bad that I've just removed it only two months in. Has the formula changed?
I had an abnormal pap too and had to have that done. This is insane. I've taken it out to see if I get normal again, it's been about a week now. No change so far. My mood seems a bit better, but no other changes yet.
