Inner voice symptoms and conditions

I had mine inserted 10 weeks ago and I am having it removed this afternoon and I cant wait! My problems started on day 3 and have not stopped. I am 50 (had my tubes tied 20 years ago after 2 kids)and my gyno suggested Mirena as my periods are very very heavy and occur about every two and half weeks. My daughter (25 with 1 child) had hers inserted 2+ years ago and has not had 1 problem so thought I thought it might work - wow, was I wrong! I have had the constant feeling of just achey all over, headaches all the time,angel to devil in .0001 seconds, panic attacks (never had them before and NEVER want another one - very scary)sinus infections, high blood pressure (have always been 120/80 now I am 160/100) I just feel crappy all the time and unmotivated. I have never been like this and hope its all related to the Mirena as nothing else in my life has changed. Like other meds and procedures this is not for everyone so I would encourage people to listen to your body as well as your inner voice and take action to get your old self back. Honestly, as badly as I feel since getting my Mirena....having heavy periods every two and half weeks seem pretty minor in comparison!

After reading these posts, I am glad I didn't change my mind about having the MIUD removed. I have had all sorts of problems since that evil piece of plastic was inserted. I didn't think much of it at first and thought maybe I am just tired because I have my period and cramps alllllll the time. The relationship I was in was bad and thought maybe I was tired and moody because of that. After a couple of months - boyfriend free - things didn't change. I had horrible mood swings, my concentration was shot. My work ethic went down the toliet, I felt like a 10 year old kid with ADD. No energy, back hurt on a regular basis, carpal tunnel came back with a vengence and TMJ (I don't know if that's related but I've never had it before), acne, weight gain, no sex drive, and a constant itching around my neck. I am sure the NP was ready to try to talk me out of it and wait the full 6 months for "side effects" to go away. Well, the last 5 sucked, I really didn't want to deal with this crap any longer, besides with the price of gas, I can't afford the money for the regular buying of feminine products. I am only 6 hours free of this and I am already feeling a little better. I don't have that "pressure" you feel in your belly and a have bit more energy. I am so looking forward to the next few weeks when things start to get back to normal!!! If you have any doubts about this thing....get rid of it. Its really not that bad to get it out, 99 times less painful than getting it inserted!!!

hi everyone I am 22 years old and have had mirena for about 3 weeks. They told me that I was the perfect canidate for hte mirena. I should have known something was up when they gave me the mirena for FREE and charged me up front for the insertion. The insertion was painful and I almost backed out. I should have listened to my inner voice. I also wish i was told about the really serious side effect from the mirena. I m so scared now I want to have it removed but of course it cost money. I have been feeling side effects but i didn't think any thing of it. The mood changes, depression, pain in my back and down my legs. I have had such bad headaches i don't know what to do. I have gained 10 lbs since having the mirena. Why do they lie to us and tell us it is going to be ok and that it is a great desicion to get mirena? How is it that they can get away with the lies and all the pain that the women have to go through to get it in and out. I hope that everything is ok inside. I can not feel my strings and I am scared to death right now. Some thing has to be done. It is not right for these companies to put our lives at risk just to make some money. I feel like i have been played and like i just made the biggest mistake of my life. Somebody needs to do something. I need to get this thing out of me.

Neurontin has been wonderful for me.

I'm on 900 a day for anxiety/ADHD and some lack of coping issues (previous diagnosis of bi-polar as well but my psych now doesn't agree)

Mood - calmer, more control over my actions and temper.

Anxiety - much lower, inner voice is really quieted down.

ADHD issues - calmer, slowed down my way too fast perception, much less fidgetting, able to focus and I don't feel overwhelmed

Weight - is down. I'm eating much better now, no longer eating crap to self-medicate.

Sex - I'm a married early 30s female and our sex life has gone from good to earthshattering. All of a sudden I feel more aroused and more interested in sex.

I get sleepy at times but it is not a big deal at all. Nothing else in terms of side effects.

I love this drug.
