I went on NuvaRing almost exactly 1 month ago. Everything was fine initially. I noticed some weight gain, but that's to be expected when switching medications (I'd been on a low dose pill for years). I had no issues with sex, no headaches, no cramps, and my skin didn't break out like it normally does before my period. I took NR out on Monday and immediately became seriously depressed. I felt paranoid, suspicious of my boyfriend, and overall thought I was going crazy. I am still so miserable. I'm supposed to put my new ring in on Monday, but after reading this site, I think I'm going to call my doctor and ask her to refill my old script instead. The side effects of NR are not worth the simplicity of not having to remember to take the pill.
