I am calling my doctor and having this thing removed ASAP. I've had it in for three months, and at first everything was fine. But lately, I almost feel as though I'm going crazy. Insomnia. Terrible mood swings and anger. Getting beyond mad and upset at simple things. My heart feels like its beating ridiculously fast - like I'm having heart palpitations or an anxiety attack. I feel like I'm in a pressure-cooker. I get unreasonably mad at my dear husband and children, which leaves me feeling so awful and terrible to be acting this way. My hair falls out in gobs, and I have a puffy tummy that is soooo not normal. I haven't had a good sex drive in years, but now the thought of sex makes me almost want to throw-up. I feel like I'm going crazy. Any problems in my life seem amplified, and I feel completly overwhelmed - and I really shouldn't feel this bad. Kids wear you out, and messes around the house are tiresome, but the commotion shouldn't make me feel this NUTS!

Did you get it taken out? I recognise all of your symptoms. The unrealistic madness at your husband and children is really awful. I don't know if I can blame it on the Mirena but I have 2 children and when my first child was young I had none of the anger towards her that I do towards both children now. I am a placid person and it makes me feel so terrible to be angry like this. I can also not sleep properly and wanted to know if taking the mirena out made a difference to you.
