Hi everyone, I got the Mirena put in a little over 3 weeks ago and it's been nothing but trouble. I've had consistent spotting, my skin is awful---I'm getting pimples!--, I feel bloated and, worst of all, my moods are awful. I even had a fleeting thought today as I was driving about driving my car over a cliff. I would never do it of course, but the thought scared me. I'm already on a low dose of anti-depressant(Celexa) and worry that Mirena is making it worse. The weight-gain issue really worries me as well. I would like to get it removed, but worry that my doctor will tell me to give it more time. I really don't want to wait---I just want it out. I'm really kicking myself for taking my doctor's word and not researching it more before getting it.

Hi, i got the mirena put in almost two years ago and I havn't had any problems. Now at first I thought It was causing me problems but It was in my head, after all it's kinda weird to have something like that in you at first. I have also heard of people just not being able to deal with an IUD/IUC. The spotting will go away and mirena doesn't release any horomes into your blood stream on into your uterus, it uses less than a birth control pill because it doesn't go threw your blood stream. I also take celexa for a panic disorder, I have 3 small children and my husband works away from home - I've been overwhelmed and on it short-term and It doesn't make it worse for me. Mirena is the best birth control I ever taken.I can't take any bc with a high dose of hormones or I'll be in the hospital it makes my blood pressure sky-rocket. I hope this helps...just push threw any weird feelings aside and think about something else I know plenty of people who use mirena it is safe. I'm 23 by the way.
