  • Sort of. I was using the NuvaRing for about a year and never had any problems until the past few months. I always have pretty bad PMS (or PMDD, not sure if it's either or if my cycle just exacerbates the depression I already have). Anyway, I also struggle with undiagnosed, untreated bipolar disorder (it's been so mild in the past that I never felt the need to seek treatment, so I just ride out the highs and the lows as they come). I recently switched BACK to pill on the off-chance that the ring was behind the mixed-state I've been in since February and I'm actually feeling MORE normal and less depressed since I made the switch. Again, I can't be certain that the ring brought on my depression or if I'm in a true mixed-state (or if it's just a manic episode with depression caused by the ring) or if it has nothing to do with the ring at all and is just the natural cycle of my bipolar disorder but I do feel a lot better these past couple of weeks so I'm kind of leaning towards the NuvaRing being behind the depression.
