This is my second time writing in. I wrote about symptoms in Feb. and now have MORE to add. I have had Mirena in for a year and a half and things are starting to add up! I still get a period though it is a little lighter than before. I am still spotting (even after all this time and there is no knowing when this will happen), heart burn, hair loss, heart palpitations (even have gone in to ER and had test run with no conclusion except I need more sleep and less stress - ha - been a mom for 9 years and haven't slept forever, why would this happen only now?) dizziness, back pain, constipation, bloating (my stomach will not go back to pre pregnancy size), gas, fatigue. My doctor says no way related! More needs to be done to make women aware of these side effects! Especially when they tell you before that there are no side effects!!!

Hi there - I had my merina taken out after 18 mths. In that 18 mths i gained 16kg and was put on anti-depressants. I decided enough was enough. Had the merina out, went off the anti depressants. Had tried to get off the tabs before but had shocking brain zaps. This time I told the doctor what I wanted to do. Iwent on Reductil 15mg which is a weight loss tab with a slight anti depressant in it. Worked a charm, not 1 side effect coming off. So now Im loosing weight 7kg in about 12 weeks. At first no weight loss so Itold doctor Iwanted some moduretic to take when I have my period. Fantastic - still had bad cramps but no bloating actually kept dropping weight. Have been able to keep the weight off and never hungry all the time like i was with the merina and antidepressants. I know a few girls who have had it removed-all had the same side effects - good luck!
