I've been hearing my wife make comments about having a lot of these symptoms these last 5-6 months after having it put in last November. Both of us had discussed her new gradually acquired symptoms as needing to change our eating habits and start living healthier. Dropped the coffee and alcohol, Increased the vitamins.....all to no avail. It went from there straight to marriage counseling and me thinking that I married a freaking lunatic. She gained no weight but rather became more aggressive and snappy over nothing and everything. Emotional up swings with the seldom down. Anxiety, sleeplessness, nausea, periodic 'fluttering' feeling in her uterus and for the first time in 4 years I heard her complain of severe cramping to the point I became very concerned medically speaking. Whelp, we got into it this morning over absolutely nothing and again ten minutes later she found herself emotional, crying and apologetic. That was when she knew something wasn't right and luckily thought to check for possible side effects her birth control. (Mirena) This CRAP is coming out tomorrow! What a freaking NIGHTMARE for not only the love of my life but for me! These side effects are REAL and should be dealt with with REAL concern. I wish you ladies the best of luck in any decision that you may choose.

Wow, finding this site was like finding light at the end of the dark tunnel. I was on Nuvaring for 3 months and during those first 3 months don't really recall experiencing any serious side effects besides any normal anxiety or stress from everyday life. But for the most part I was always able to get through anything somewhat difficult and stressful with a clear head. Well I had lost my medical insurance and so I stopped using it for about a month or so. I consulted my gynecologist and asked her to switch me to something else more affordable due to lack of insurance. She was going to prescribe me something like the pill for a 4$ RX from Walmart, but in the meantime gave me 3 samples/3 months worth of Nuvaring. On the first day of my period which was January 14th I put it in. These past two weeks I have been experiencing some serious depression and anxiety. Like most of the other testimonials, I have had serious mood swings, crying for no reason, negative for everything, the littlest task caused me anxiety, everything worried me, and just in general hating life. I couldn't think straight to save my life. I thought I was literally going insane. I was desperate for help, almost to the point of seeking therapy. I was ready for anything I had to go down the toilet. I was probably about to lose my job, my apartment, my car, maybe even the love of my life. FOR NO REASON. I started researching Nuvaring and remembered seeing the ad for the lawsuit. And after seeing this site and another site found some hope. Needless to say I took the ring out ASAP. I pray that this helps anyone feeling like I did, and that soon I will be back to normal.

I was on desogen for four months and I got it from planned parenthood. I felt okay on the pill, except i always felt fat and the week before my period I was a total witch, and extremely irritable. So I decided to go off of it, Well now it is worse! This pill has messed me up so badly. I am having a lot of issues with my boyfriend who I have been with for 1 year. Prior to this pill I always knew I loved him, we always had fun and got along and everything with him was perfect. Now that im off it, I feel numb towards him I have tried breaking up with him 3 times, but can never go through with it because some rational part of my brain kicks in and my gut and heart tell me its not right. I don't want to do things I normally do. I don't want to shop, hang out with friends. Its also unfortunate I start college in less than one week, I have a lot of change coming at me and I cant handle it because Im not emotionally stable right now due to an extreme hormonal imbalance. I get really bad anxiety attacks, and panic attacks. I cant stand any change. I feel numb, and just lost. I feel like everyday I get up is just a horrible dream. I anticipate the worst for everything. I just feel so messed up and its all because of this damn pill. How do I know its the pill and Im not going insane? well its no coincidence this all started happening two days after I ended the pack. This pill has fucked with my life so bad and Im scared Im going to loose the love of my life because of it. Its a fight everyday just to feel normal lately. This has to stop. This pill makes you feel like shit on it and wven worse off of it.

I took the medicine chantix to quit smoking before I got married July 2007 so I wouldnt' have to worry about smoking on plane. But it made me mean while taking it and after I quit taking it 2 mos later it caused depression, extreme mood swings usually very vicious swings where I'd lash out at other people including my kids and husband. I'd hear these rants and wonder why I was saying such vicious things. It was like I was possessed. Then it cost me my marriage b/c I had a severe breakdown Dec 2007 and ended up in a mental hospital then diagnosed w/ Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar which I never had before. Then while in hospital my employers of 14 yrs discharged me from my job and 7 mos later I still haven't found work, unemployment exhausted and have no income at all now so I'll be losing my house that I worked so hard for, and possibly everything I own. Can't pay my bills, credit cards, electric bill ,etc.. And after I was released from hospital my husband left me b/c there were still mood swings that medicines that the hospital put me on can't cure. So I lost the love of my life and this 'so called' miracle drug destroyed my life and family. If you can quit any other way but taking this medicine do so b/c this medicine will destroy your life.

I don't know if seeing all these posts help me or scare the crap outta me even more (none the less very helpful), I have no insurance and really want to get my IUD removed. I had it inserted when my daughter was 8 weeks old that was about 11 months ago. I have had nothing but problems, severe cramping, nausea, periods that last a whole month, one month it will be icky brownish discharge with a lil blood here and there, I will stop for about 2 weeks and get it again this time lasting about 3 weeks then i will go about 6 weeks and have it again this time with severe cramping and bleeding for a whole month straight. then i may not have it again for 6 weeks etc... I have really nasty blood clots that look very fleshy. I also have had very thick yellowish stinky discharge everyday i don't have my period ( I have NEVER smelt this bad) I feel like im losing my mind Im so absent minded i forget the simplest things, my arms and legs go numb and tingly, my hair is falling out in clumps, im extremely moody and very impatient. and the tiredness is really starting to bother me, no matter how much i try to stay awake its almost impossible, i literally need to take a nap every 3 hours it seems like just to function...I feel like im falling apart. Has anyone else had a lot of these symptoms? And what should I do about getting it taken out....I don't qualify for Medicaid so I was wondering if i should just go into the hospital the next time the pain gets bad and see if they will remove it any advice will be helpful! And good luck to anyone else going through problems with this IUD.

I was given this for bee stings. I wish I had more stings and no prednisone!! I shoke, Sweated from feet and hands, thought i was on the virge of a heart attack, insomnia for 9 days, quit my job of 7 years, drove my truck 2,000 miles over the coarse of a week, almost beat up my finance and my dad, (I'm never a violent person!), went to E.R. twice and given sleeping pills that didn't work, CRAZY STUFF TO SAY THE LEAST!! I lost my job, got a battery charge that my public defender thinks we cant beat, and almost lost the love of my life. Now over the past couple months I have had sever depression and have had to put my whole life back together. I'm grateful I didn't die though! THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE, BUT IT DOES TO A LOT OF PEOPLE!! Please call me or email If there is a lawyer who could help stop this! ******
God bless America!

I had the Mirena put in a week ago. I think I'm having a laundry list of side effects, but two are a major concern for me: mood swings and odor down below. I stopped spotting five days after insertion but theres an odor that just doesn't smell like me. My sex drive is null and void. My breast hurt or itch depending on the day. Is anybody having the same issues esp. the odor issue? Thanks

Who honestly thought Yaz would make me so emotionally unstable that the love of my life would soon bring me to the point of appearing in court fighting a restraining order?? wow i thought i was pretty much effed for life, i tried lexapro, effexor, ativan, adderall, xanex, wellbutrin and u know the usual bs. At the point of seeing a stranger in my reflection with no one left to tell i just stopped caring about even taking yaz and soon after i fell like i was slowly waking up. Please i am 22 years old i let yaz control 2 years of my precious youth dealing with over barring spilling emotions from hell STOP taking the legal pink pills that rapes you of your soul!!!! i would rather have 5 kids in 5 years then have to resort to that fucked up point of devastation ever ever again!!!
