I started on the ring because I could never remember to take my pills everyday so my GYN told me about the ring and how great it was. Well, she never mentioned any side effects. I noticed after being on it for 3 months that I was feeling depressed and becoming very angry all the time. My boyfriend and I had problems but I was like a crazy women and reacted violently at times. I also notice a lot of wetness and then it turned into a yeast infection. After the second yeast infection within a 4 month period, I stopped using the ring. I also stared to notice a huge change in my sex drive and often I would not even feel the desire to have sex at all. I wondered if the ring had anything to do with it, so I stopped for 2 months to see if I was just making this all up in my mind. After reading all the posts on this site I was finally convinced I was not crazy after all. I feel so much better now that I'm not on the ring and my boyfriend and I have a MUCH,MUCH better relationship!
