To this day, I am not sure if Nuvaring is the cause of all my pro...

I am 23 years old and have tried numerous forms of birth control. Unfortunately due to an overactive petuitary gland they have yet to be successful. I started the Nuva Ring in November with no complications thinking, Dear God could there actually be some form of birth control that works for me? Come to find out the Nuva Ring would rear its angry side effect head soon. It started with a general case of heart burn that took about 2 weeks to come to a head for that two weeks I felt like a bottle of seltzer that had been shaken but not opened.
After that the sleepless nights started. I figured it was the stress of the holidays and general every day life and the mood swings and irritability I contributed to not sleeping. A pretty general surmise I would think. After that sexual apathy. The least side effect for my boyfriend right after grouchiness.
I am a massage therapist and being moody at work just does not fly. I had huge anxiety where I felt like everyone was judging me and overevaluated most situations of every day life. Then a few weeks ago I hit my knee and it wouldn't heal for a week...now I have such bad leg pains I can barely work. And my contacts have been getting very foggy lately.

After reading the symptoms of the Nuva Ring I am horrified to find out I have half of the "See a doctor immediately if..." symptoms. I've thrown that thing out and am not going back to it. I think that you should try to give it a few months without any form of birth control and let the hormones leave your system and THEN see if you still suffer from anxiety. It takes a while for them to be active and just as long for them to become INactive. Just a suggestion and I hope all goes well.
