"i switched over to the nuvaring from gildess fe 1/20 simply for the convenience.  gildess worked great for me, no side effects, so i figured i would try nuvaring.  i had to stop it after two months.  the second month on the ring, i experienced off and on anxiety, depression at times, unmotivated, and just not like myself.  i attributed it to it being finals week in college... but when i didn&#039;t feel at peace at all during break, i knew something was wrong.  i even flipped out on my boyfriend for no reason and ignored him.  the final straw was the random crying outbursts i experienced.  nothing was bothering me, but i found myself fighting back random tears.  back to gildess for me!  thank god!  i can&#039;t sacrifice emotional stability for convenience."
