I wanted to share my story with the nuva ring I was on it for four months. I got extremely depressed to the point where I couldn't get out of bed and I constantly cried.
I then started getting paranoid and blaming my husband of cheating on me to the point where I drove him insane and we almost broke up. I was delusional and emotional to the point where I started thinking people were after me and I would spend all day in bed crying with the blinds closed so no one could see in my house in fear of someone murdering me. I also started to always have to have my back up against a wall cause I thought that someone might kill me from behind. I also had a complete mental breakdown at a gas station cause they nozzle kept clicking off.
I became obsessive compulsive and would make 100s of lists for every second of the day. This was not how I am or have ever been in my life. I finally started to get suicidal and realized something was going on I didn't think it could be the ring but I went to crisis intervention to talk to a counsellor who sent me for testing.
My hormones were off the charts messed up and I then realized with a doctor that it was the nuva ring ... I took it out and writhin 4-5 days I was completely normal again. Also I gained 25lbs, which I immediately started losing after. Another side effect I experienced was fuzziness like I was in a daze type dreaming state and severe fatigue.

I know exactly how you feel. I wore for one month , just 3 months ago. I turned bitch towards my family. Everything irritated me. I even accused my husband of cheating on me because of a dream I had, while wearing it. When I realized this is the only thing different, I pulled out, ai was normal after just a few days.

Amanda and Irene,
Thank you for sharing your stories so other women may realize what this drug (yes, the NuvaRing is a powerful hormonal drug) can do to their health and to their families. We believe that the introduction of "the pill", clear back in the 60 's, was a major contributing factor to the sharp increase of the divorce rate in America. Thank goodness both of you figured out the reason for your distress and the effect it was having on your marriage and family...but what happens to all of the women who are affected by these drugs in the same way you were and never figure out the connection? Unfortunately, often the prescribing of more drugs like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety is the result together with divorce. Great for Big Pharma and Medical profits, but devastating for women and their families.
The NuvaRing killed our daughter by causing massive pulmonary embolisms. The worst happened to our daughter, and unfortunately untold numbers of other innocent women, but we also want the world to k ow that women are unnecessarily being made to suffer from depression, anxiety, weight gain, breast and other cancers, loss of libido, fertility issues, depletion of essential vitamins and minerals leading to a myriad of chronic illness, etc. from these drugs. These drugs affect every organ in a woman's body but women are shamefully not being told the real truth about hormonal contraceptives because they make far too much money for the drug and medical industry.
May we share your stories on other websites dedicated to informing women about the dangers associated with these drugs? Every woman who learns the truth about hormonal contraceptives is one more woman who will not suffer injury or death.
Thank you,
Rick and Karen Langhart

I went on it and was always in a rage. I called it Nuvarage. My legs started hurting and I found this page. After reading the stories, I took it out and never went back. Sad so many lives were lost. I have been off it for two years and don't have the rage anymore or leg pain.
