Hi, I just had mirena put in a little over a week ago and it has nothing but a nightmare for me.The day I had it put in I had extreme cramping and im having heavy bleeding.The cramps finally stopped yesterday but i still am having heavy bleeding.However ever since three days after having it put in I have been having severe anxiety attacks to the point were im feel like im going to pass out or even die.when i go out to eat i have a panic attack and the restaurant its very embarrassing and scary.I have never had this feeling before.All day i feel completely out of it and have confusion through out the day.Its very scary.I went to my family doctor and he prescribed anxiety meds.Im definitely calling my ob tomorrow first thing and telling him about this.I thought there could be no way my anxiety was being of mirena but im starting to think so.I feel so relieved knowing im not the only one going through this nightmare.How long after getting it taken out do u start feeling better?

Cannot believe that tiredness/fatigue is not listed as a major side effect! My Doctor believes that it is my Warfarin/Coumadin and he has other similar patient experience.
I still have my sense of humor though! (just in case you wondered!)

I'm glad to see that I am not alone with disappointing side effects from this pill. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!
When I list these side effects, do NOT interpret these lightly. This is serious, ladies. Magnify these feelings by 100 times because that's how I felt. Absolutely disgusting medicine!!!
Here are my side effects:
1. weight gain
2. increased appetite (I don't have a satisfied feeling after eating a meal).
3. insomnia
4. dry skin
5. mood swings
6. fatigue
7. vivid dreams
8. depression
9. breast tenderness
10. breast sensitivity
11. nipple hardness

Started Lisinopril in August and it has controlled my BP really well. But I started to get some side effects. After about a month I noticed I was losing my hair. Called the doctor and he said he never heard of it. Then in October 2008 I felt a heavy, pressure feeling in my upper chest, going towards my throat, like something was stuck at the base of my neck. Also a dry cough throughout the day. Went to doc today and he said dry cough is very common with Lisinopril but he doesn't think the chest heaviness/pressure is related. I do. I had a chest X-ray today and am waiting for the results. Am scheduled to have an echo and possibly stress test if the feeling is still there. I'm thinking, after reading all these postings, that Lisinopril is definitely responsible for the hair loss, chest heaviness/pressure feeling, lump feeling in throat and dry cough. I'm tired of feeling these symptoms. Hopefully all my tests will come out fine and I will probably end up changing to a different drug.

I am so relieved to know that I'm not turning into some crazed basket case!
I've been on nuvaring for over 2 years. In the beginning, I couldn't believe the product...it was phenomenal! Put it in, and forget about it! Also, skipping periods was never so easy! I never spotted...just inserted a new ring and went on my merry way!
Well, that all changed about a year ago. I was planning my wedding, so I chalked my moodiness and depression on this huge event (of course! makes sense, right?). Time went on, and the feelings have not dissipated. I have always been a very emotional "in tact" female...a tuff Texas girl! I've had management jobs where my even keel disposition has been key to my success. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to breakdown at work...that would be BAD...really bad.
Also, my weight has been a thorn in my side. Although, I am not a big girl (135#), I'm bigger than I'd like (used to be 125). And, what's up with the belly pooch!? NEVER in my life have I had a belly that pokes out like this! I work out 4-5 x a week and eat healthy (yes healthy, you skeptics). My breasts have blown up like the Macy's day parade which my husband is all for, but I'm, quite frankly, getting a little scared of them:)
I am taking my nuva out on Sunday, and I CANNOT wait!! I want to go back to my fun, happy-go-lucky self.
BTW!! - To you men reading these entries with a girlfriend or wife that has recently turned into a crazy loon...stay strong for your lady. My husband has been an amazing man. I know he's wanted to get in his car and run away a couple times, but he has stuck by me. And I'm about to rock his world with my new and improved sex drive (when it decides to come back).
Best of Luck and I'll see you lovely ladies on the other side!!

Hello ladies. I'm a 19 year old college student and I was having problems with fainting and it was suggested that I get the IUD put in because some women start to faint while taking the pill.
I've had it since December 2007, and I absolutely hate it. I have extreme mood swings, one minute I'm happy and the next I'm not. I feel like Ive come into a deep depression that I cant get rid of. I have extreme pain in my right ovary area, my back is constantly hurting, I probably have a headache more than not, I cant sleep at night, and I have a horrible odor that can be smelled through my clothing.
I'm so angry at the doctor who put it in. He told me nothing of these symptoms and even told me that women loved the mirena. I went online and it seems that on every forum women are hating it. I almost feel like marching in and giving him a dosage of the pain I've been going through these past few months.
I would NOT recommend the Mirena to anyone. It just simply is NOT worth it. But, does anyone know of what we can do for the symptoms? I want the IUD out, but my mother paid for it out of her own salary, so I feel obligated. Thanks for all the help ladies!

I had my MIRENA put in 2 months ago. Since then, even with the holidays, I have lost 11 lbs. (bringing me to 15lbs underwt.) I have had no appetite, acid reflux, extreme nausea, esophageal spasms, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, and weakness. I am also still breastfeeding, so my once fatty milk now looks like water. My husband's starting thinking it was the MIRENA, because my body must think I'm pregnant again. I am going to the MD tomorrow to talk about have it taken out.

I've had the Mirena IUD inside me for 4 years now. In the beginning I absolutely loved it because I went from having very heavy long lasting periods to having none at all. First year I had no periods but began experiencing extreme allergies. The next year the allergies to everything worsened and my stomach would inflate to the size of a 6 month pregnant woman overnight only to disappear and reappear a few days later. Doctor diagnosed me with IBS, sinusitis, and also prescribed me anti-depressants and sleeping pills. Continued to think nothing of it and did not make the connection between the Mirena and my deteriorating health. Now at 4 years with the Mirena I have numbness of the left side of my face, sores in the corners of my mouth, severe allergies, hair loss, increased facial hair, depression, fatigue, low white blood cell count, and now psoriasis of the scalp. After many blood tests and countless prescriptions I have decided to stop listening to the doctors and demand that this thing be taken out of me. Wish me luck.

I hate to tell you this but your side effects are probably just starting. If you read some this site or go to fqvictims.org you will see thta the damage is probably already done. these side effects don't just go away.

I have been taking Cephalexin for about four days. The side affects for me are severe adominal pain, itching all over, pain in my legs, and feel very thirsty like I can't get enough to drink. Is this normal?

My daughter had her 2nd shot in August, 2008, she started having problems November 10, 2008.Since then, she passes out at least 5 to 6 times a month, she has Bradycardia, arythmias, vagal vasal syncope, and Heart Block. She has been in and out of hospitals. The only answer to fix this is a Pace Maker. Shes 18 years old, cannot drive, go onto college (at this time). She could not even go to her graduation ceremony because she was passed out in the bathroom and wouldn't wake up. I cannot find one doctor to connect this to Gardasil, I wonder why it cannot be traced back to the shot. I would love to voice my opinion to the public about her experience since this shot. Out of all the doctors that see her, not a single one can explain why this is happening to her heart, they say she is a difficult but interesting case.
