I posted a few days ago about my experiences with Mirena. This is an update. I'm so happy to have that thing out!! I haven't had any heart palpitations since the day I had it out. After reading pages of posters' side affects here, I noticed quite a few other people have had anxiety/heart palpitations/irregular heart beat with it also. I'm so glad that I listened to my instincts and just got it out. I started bleeding two days after I had it out, HUGE clots, lots of bleeding like I just gave birth! It went away a couple days later then came back again. I guess my body is really trying to clean itself out. I also had already lost 1 pound in 2 days after having it out. I know it's only a pound, but I know it's a loss because my pants are fitting better. I really don't think Mirena was worth the weight gain, acne, loss of hair on my head, additional facial hair, and worst of all the anxiety and palpitations. I've always been extremely sensitive to birth control pills, but this was supposed to be different, the hormone was localized so there weren't supposed to be as many side affects. That apparently wasn't the case with me. This may work for some people, and that's good for them but it's not for me.
