I just started Nuvaring about a month ago
after three days of nauseousness and
ridiculous depression with Yasmin. The
convenience of Nuvaring is way better than
having to take a pill everyday and I don't
get nauseous. Although I have some
preexisting anxiety. For months I have
taking something called Valerian Root for
sleep anxiety which helps me immensely
feel refreshed from sleeping...since
Nuvaring the Valerian Root stopped
working. So without good sleep and
potential that Nuvaring is causing more
anxiety and paranoia...I am miserable.
Some days I'm fine no more anxiety then
usual, then other days like today I'm on
the verge of loosing it. I can't tell you
how many times my eyes have welled up over
something so stupid. Additionally, my
boyfriend can feel it and it makes my
vagina smell mediciny...it's not
attractive. I took it out today which is
the end of my first cycle and I don't
think I'm planning on continuing. Although
I am absolutely paranoid to get pregnant I
was using it along with condoms as a
backup. As my doctor says, I guess
everyone will react differently but the
thought of being this out of control of my
thoughts is a bit crazy.

LadyD- Is it possible that the anxiety
isn't related to your birth control? Just
a thought. It's quite possible that it is
because of the pill but you never want to
ignore a problem and blame it on the wrong
thing!
Karen- have you tried a low-dose pill?

The anxiety was there before, but the bc
is definitely making it worse. I have
always been a worrier, something I have to
address....lately I've been a complete
basket case. It has never been this bad.

Also, if I left it in for the 3 weeks and
am now on the 1 week break when I'm
suppose to get my period...how long do you
think it take for my body to get back to
normal as far as the hormones go?

It depends on the person, but the ring is
better than other drugs as far as your
body regulating once you take it out.
Shouldn't take too much more than another
week or so after your period.
