Hello all, After reading all of these testimonials I suddenly feel more sane. I tried the Nuva Ring for one month and within the first week noticed a dramatic shift in my emotional stability. I had a panic attack and was unable to stop crying for hours. For weeks afterwards I felt not like myself all day, and was having one to two panic attacks a day. Also, I no longer had those little brilliant moments of happiness when I know that I'm entirely me. I really like myself, and usually have self-esteem but some how I forgot who I was, and forgot how to get back to that place. When I removed the ring after three weeks (as instructed) I decided to never put it back in. Within a few days I felt more like myself. I even had some glimmering "me" moments. Regardless, since then I still am much more anxious. I have trouble sleeping, an inability to relax, tension in my jaw, depression, and (worst of all) panic attacks. I can't shake this fear that something terrible is about to happen... but I know that it is just anxiety because my symptoms keep changing. One day I think that I'm hypoglycemic, and the next day I'm afraid that I had a seizure in my sleep. It all boils down to general anxiety, and panic attacks which ALL started when I began the NuvaRing. I have been off the Ring for one month now and I really want my life back. I have had my period post ring, and I'm sure the hormonal levels are just falling back into check- but I really need some reassurance from someone who understands. Could any of you (or all of you! the more the better!) please let me know how long it took your anxiety/depression symptoms to subside????? Please. I really need some hope that this will get better, because the hopelessness is part of the depression. Thanks, A.
