I am 26 years old 5'5'' and 186lbs. I started using it on Feb. 4, 2009- not many side effects that I noticed immediately. I thought it was great for the fact I didn't have to take a pill each day. I however did experience right off the bat discomfort during sex and I wear contacts and some days they were just so dry. Normal side effets that you can read in the pamphlet I thought. During March and April I left it in for a extra day or two and resumed usage as normal after my period. During March I started to get very bad stomach cramps/burning pains in my abdomen and excessive burping. I went to the Doctor (someone new that I am in transition to be my regular doc--knows nothing about me really) he said it was just indigestion that caused the stomach pains. He put me on Omezaprole. I took it a few times and of course had side effects from that(felt like my skin was crawling). However my stomach issues went away. About 2 weeks ago I started to notice muscle twitches mostly in my legs and cramps too which I normally don't get unless I have exercised a lot. Then within the last week I have felt very withdrawn, like on autopilot, anxious, twitchy, tired, like I am not myself, severe headaches, confusion and not really knowing what to say next during conversation. I have had panic attacks and can deal with them but nothing like the ones in the last two weeks.Today at work I thought I just might freak out and go on a rage. Its passed but I still feel very touchy Iike I might cry at any moment. Normally very outgoing and adventurous. But now I don't really feel like doing anything except being alone and by myself with a phone near in case my body starts acting more bizarre. So to sum it up I came upon this website and found enough women with the same issues and side effects and enough non-medically proven reason to take the NuvaRing out. So I told my husband that that's what I am doing. He said he hasn't really noticed my mood changes. However a friend I saw the other day said I just seemed very sad and down. A side note to consider I have a identical twin sister and she doesn't have the same side effects. She and I spoke and her biggest complaint is weight gain.
