I am 21 years old and have had the Mirena for 19 months. For the first couple of months i absolutely loved it! I had light periods that only lasted 1-2 days and no other side effects. January 2008 was the last period i had. That was 14 months ago and the side effects have slowly been getting worse since then. I have been depressed, lethargic, withdrawn, paranoid, anxious, not to mention very low libido & a lot of weight gain - about 50 pounds in the last 19 months, despite dieting & excersising. I have severe mood swings which I never had before. I have always been fun & easy going and now I have sudden outbursts, especially towards my husband with no provocation. I almost never want to kiss him, let alone have sex. We have been married for less than 2 years and its killing our marriage. I have severe migraines & cry a lot. I have only been married for 18 months and my marriage is suffering because of everything wrong with me. I dont even recognize myself anymore. We don't want to have kids for another couple years, but I think I am to the point where i would do anything to be myself again.
