I have been struggling with depression for the last 20 years (I am now 34), but this year has been my best ever. I have a great job, a fabulous therapist, am graduating in the spring, am blessed with wonderful friends and am realistically happy in my life. Then, within hours of inserting the NuvaRing, I became incredibly anxious and have remained depressed after two weeks. My skin has been an absolute disaster zone also, especially concerning black and white heads around my chin area. Has anyone else experienced acne? Has the acne that comes as a probable result of the hormones in NuvaRing gone away after a period of time? I have read many reports here from those who experienced remarkably similar episodes of depression, and I thank you; my heart goes out to you.
