Hello ladies! where do i begin: terrible headaches before what I think was my period, lightheadedness, just not feeling myself, cranky, tired, lazy, no energy, weight gain, bloating, I was even taking Ativan for a series of panic attacks I had had prior to getting Mirena inserted, and every time my so called period was coming, I felt the anxiousness start all over again, my ob said to get a full physical that I may be suffering from a thyroid problem, and she's never heard any of these side effects before, I told her about this website, and it confirmed my thought that Mirena was doing this to my body! No sex drive either, and that's not me! I told her I wanted it out, it's been 1 month and a half, I haven't taken ANY Ativan, haven't felt anxious had a normal period, and lots of sex! I'm enjoying my 2 little ones even more now, and feel myself again, I would not recommend Mirena to anyone!! I can't believe how bad I felt for so long, almost a year...my poor family!
