OK... I have had this thing now for almost 3 months...I choose this because I am now 35 and smoke.... I have spotted or full force bleed for the entire time... the insertion wasn't that bad... some cramping...but the swelling and itching of the breasts is unbearable. I can live with the swelled one if they would stay one size. The itching is unbearable. My mood swings were terrible... so bad that my family dr put me on cymbalta and xanyx thinking I was depressed and had anxiety. The cymbalta made me feel like I was on some sorta acid trip. So, I stopped those after a few days... and started using the xanyx maybe 2 times a week when I felt "weird". I started to loose alot of hair, followed by acne, depression, mood swings so bad that I couldnt function.. at work or at home. My daughters are teenagers and kept telling me it was that stupid thing that I have. I kept having the bleeding and brown discharge. I continued to have urinary tract infections... and they would go away. Finally went back to my family dr and they put me on Lexapro. I talked to him about my mood swings and said this would help. UMMMM NO... that made it worse... So I contacted the ob-gyn dr who told me that he was 99.9 percent sure that it was not the IUD and that I should contact a psychiatrist to get my "meds straight"... OK... wait... I needed NONE of this stuff before I got this IUD... THANK GOD FOR THIS SITE... I was seriously starting to think that I had brain tumor or something... I would just flip out... cry.. not able to focus... unbelieable .... just wanted to lay around and sleep and cry and just throw in the towel... I have printed out this site to take to my dr office tomorrow and have this thing taken out... and I'm calling that number too and telling them. And get off all this damn meds that has made me worse than I was before.. then I'll take that medicine to quit smoking... wonder what side effects that stuff has... I'll keep you posted!!! :) Thanks friends for making me realize that its NOT in my head!!!

Absolutely! I have never been depressed NOR have I had anxiety! Matter-of-fact, I was talking to a friend who has a history of both just to even figure out what I was going through; she said I was having anxiety attacks but, worse than her episodes, I am having them roughly 2-3 times daily! I am verbally attacking my 5 and 3 year olds; I am losing it with my husband. I kept thinking it was just the responsibility of three kids, perhaps because it was the holiday season, yada,yada, yada. Now, after reading this site, I know I'm not crazy. I'm making an appointment tomorrow to get it removed this week. Any suggestions from anyone on what to take if I am nursing? Can't go natural or my husband will knock me up (he wants four, I want three :)
