I am so glad to see other people have had extreme mood changes with the Mirena! I was starting to think I had lost my mind. Got mine about 5 months ago and got it out yesterday. I had fits or rage and generally negative about everything. How long until I feel like myself again?!?

Hi. I want to let you know you are not alone on the severe mood changes. I had mine taken out in Sept 2007 after having it in less than a year. I had such bad mood changes and crying spells. I was set of on an angry rant very easily. I was so bad that my ex(he was my fiance at the time) and I thought that I was bi-polar or something. At least that is how I felt. And in case anyone is wondering...yes, part of the reason he is now my ex is because my mood swings were so bad he couldnt handle it anymore. I had it taken out and it took just a few weeks for my moods to get back to normal. Of course my general doctor had to put me on anti-depressants until my hormones could level back out. He is the one that told me the reason for my mood swings was due to the Mirena IUD. I am not saying that it is like this for everyone but it was for me. Also a side note: my acne got very bad. I have always been prone to hormonal outbreaks but Mirena made it 10 times worse and I started to get break outs on my back, where I had never gotten them before. It was really bad.
