Question:
Can anyone report on anxiety/panic attacks associated with use of the Nuvaring birth control?
I have used this birth control for almost 2 years and for the last 8 months or so have been experiencing increased anxiety and panic attacks in the night. I am wondering if anyone else has any expertise or experience on this issue as possibly being related. Thank you. (The first year + had some anxiety, but I was also in a high stress position... can't identify positive correlation)
Answers:
The official side effect listing does include "emotional lability" (a.k.a. emotional instability; why don't they just say instability? argh!). I don't know if you'd count your anxiety attacks under that heading. However, the website below has self-reported side effects from Nuvaring users and one of them does mention anxiety.
