Hi all, I have been off the NuvaRing for almost 2 months now, after being on it for 2 years, and I feel like I'm getting angrier and angrier...I guess I'm having intense rage attacks, pretty much everyday, and I don't know how to stop it. I thought it would get better after getting off it, but it seems my mood is getting worse. Anyone else experiencing something similar? Could it be withdrawals or something like that?

Hi, my ex-fiance experienced this same kind of thing after she got off the ring. She was off of it for 2 months and seemed angrier than ever. We ended up breaking up soon after because things just got so bad. I dont want to discourage you but I think for some people this may be a reaction to coming off of the ring. I felt like it might be due to a hormone imbalance. I have read that vitamin b complex is a good way to help your body overcome the effects of coming off the ring and to get your body back on track. Also eating well and drinking water. Hopefully things will even out soon. Take care and good luck.

Hello, I could definetly relate to your experience. I had been on the nuvaring for about a year. I recently decided to stop using that because it was killing my sex drive and raising my blood pressure. I have been off the ring for a bit now, but am experience the same rage attacks that you described. I don't even realize its happening until after I have snapped. I drink at least 4 nalgene bottles of water a day, and eat a farily balanced diet...but still have the same rage problems. I am not sure what my point is besides to let you know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE! It made me feel better to know someone else was feeling rage...sometimes it sucks to be a woman!

I felt very angry and anxious the first month i was on NR. i tried xanex and it really helped treat the symptoms. i didnt have to take it every night. i would take one before bed and it made me feel better for 4 or 5 days or more. now i dont need to take it at all. hope this helps :)

Hey girl I also had intense anger after stopping the ring. I thought it was bad before. I ended up putting a new one in but after reading this Im done. I think that it is a withdrawl-type symptom. Im going to push thru it. Thanks Im a taurus so I just thought all of this was me getting older or something.
