Out of all birth control's this has to be the worst i have tried ...

No you are not going crazy. I had the Mirena put in 06-19-07 and within 4 days I felt totally different...dizzy, nervous, anxious, insomnia, bleeding, and major lower back pain. I called my OB and told them my symptoms...I also stated that I was completely fine until I had the IUD put in. I even had my thyroid checked by my OB and all is normal. The OB told me that the bleeding and cramping were normal but not the other symptoms. After my own research and investigation I finally figured out that it is my IUD. I plan on having it taken out next Wednesday. Can't wait........Wendy

I had the same response to Mirena. It was horrible. I was suicidal. I screamed at my husband and children constantly and I am still trying to lose all the weight, even though it has been a year since it has been removed. My GYN told me that he really hadn't heard that anyone had had these reactions to it, but when I got on the computer and searched, it seems like many women have had the same problems. I would recommend the copper IUD. It has no hormones and is the same thing otherwise. I wish that Mirena would list all of these things as side effects so that women could make an informed decision. Good luck to you. Get that thing out of yourself!

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one too!!! I have had Mirend in place since July 5, 2007...I have gained soo much weight has well...I mean almost 40 extra pounds and I have no enegry and I have mood swings all the time. I thought I was going crazy also!!! I have a lot of acne and facial hair!! it's gross i know!! But, I'm going to my Dr. and I am going to tell her..I don't like to go to Dr. because I feel stupid when I talk to her about my symptoms! Because I thought I was the only one!!

that is classic, the last part i mean, sterilisation, i laughed alot. i had mine taken out today, i have endometriosis, they put in two years ago to help with the pain, it stopped it but 2 years later, one month ago i started getting really tired, low energy, the abdomen pain came back, worse and worse each few days stepping up a level, shooting sharp pains, had ultra sound to make sure it wasnt cysts, and i started telling her ( the gyno) that ive never had bad skin, and suddenly for the last month since the pain ive got this rash, dry skin and acne, like really oily blocked pores all over mostly my forehead but everywhere. i am HORRIFIED, dont want to leave the house, totally moody, depressed, over it all, cant think, total space cadet. i hope i will get better asap, it will be nice to have a sex drive again too, as i am only 22, and i am starting to feel like i am neither woman nor man, nor human.

and im going holisitic from now on
