Hi ladies! I had the Mirena removed on Oct 20th after coming acro...

I had it in from Jan '07 until Aug '08. I was getting severe monthly migraines, severe mood swings. Anger and rage mostly and no sex drive.

After having it out for over 2 months, i feel like a new person. My doctor said Mirena doesnt cause migraines, but that is total B.S. because when you look up the info, it does cause headaches and migraines in some people. My doctor recommded this thing for heavy periods, but now I am changing doctors completely. I was so P.O.ed to find out she was wrong and she is the one telling me I am wrong. Well, since then I feel better, and stable emotions, plus only get a minor headache during my period which goes away with ibuprofen, not a prescription.

I also don't have allergy problems that I was diagnosed with last year. They seem to have disappeared after Mirena was removed.

Listen to your own body not the doctors. You know yourself better than anyone else.

I had Mirena moved several days ago and I'm experiencing the worst headaches I've ever had in my life, along with extreme nausea, feeling 'confused', dizziness, feeling depressed and blurry vision. It was bad enough having the damn thing in there (a list of awful side effects) but I wish I had known more about how the withdrawal would affect me as I certainly wouldn't have even tried it in the first place. I'm REALLY p'd off!!! Rosie.

I had mine removed on 26th of oct. i also felt relieved after 4 yrs. I had virtigo before and still have it.Im recieving accuouncture for it and on serc 16 but its really getting me down.
