I have had Mirena for 6 months and I am a complete mess. I am 39, had baby number 4 last December and Mirena sounded perfect for me. Until today I had no idea what was wrong with me. I have had severe depression, mood swings, fatigue, acne on my chest, joint pain, absolutely no sex drive (don't even want him to touch me), forgetfulness, and insomnia. I am exhausted all the time, have no energy but I can't sleep half the time either. The depression and fatigue have been the worst. I was beginning to think something was really wrong with me. I went to the doctor, and he did blood work, etc and everything came back fine. I have been so frustrated. Then this morning I decided just to check and see what the side affects were for Mirena and found everything I have been battling. Mirena was great at first. I didn't have to think about it, no periods, wouldn't interfere with breast feeding. But then the side effects started and I have been pretty miserable, not too mention hubby has been catching it all. I wish I had known all of this before hand. The doctor told me there were no side affects and I trusted her to take her at her word. For some women that may be the case, however for me this is not the case. I am scheduling to have it removed ASAP. I can't function this way. I actually feel a little better knowing that I am not just loosing my mind and this thing can be fixed.
