NuvaRing - link to depression?

Posted by LindaNYC on August 13, 2004, at 15:01:08

In another post I have been discussing the recent onset of severe depression and other symptoms, possibly caused by Ambien dependency. It occurred to me today, that I recently began using hormonal birth control, in the form of NuvaRing (9 days ago today), and that this may also be responsible in part for some of my recent depression and stomach upset. Last night, although I have been Ambien-free for 5 days now, I again experienced the nausea and mood swings that I had been having immediately prior to stopping use of Ambien. I snapped at my poor husband, as well as my boss, over a minor incident, earlier in the day.
Has anyone else noticed mood swings using NuvaRing? I have never taken hormonal BC before, and figured I wouldn't have side effects because it's a much lower dosage in the NuvaRing. Am I incorrect in this assumption? Could it be causing the mood changes?
