I am having mine removed next month. I've had it since October 2007. The Dr. made it seem like it was the best damn invention ever! I've had depression, sever anxiety (I am on Lexapro), low sex drive, EXTREME fatigue, extreme mood swings, about a 30 lb weight gain, the "butterfly" feeling in my stomach, minor hair loss, sleeplessness. i cannot WAIT to get this thing out of me! I feel so bad for my husband and kids, having to live with me since 2007 being like this!
