"i went on this pill after being on the nuvaring for several years, and i have never felt so depressed.  my life is wonderful and relatively low stress, but everything seems like a hurdle while i&#039;m taking this pill.  not to mention a severely decreased sex drive. i actually look forward to my period weeks when i don&#039;t have the hormones in my system!  definitely looking forward to going off this pill - almost a year of it and the only positive was not getting pregnant!"
