I got the Mirena on April 9, 09. It hurt so much trying to get it in and for a week after I almost had it taken out right away. The first thing I noticed was NO SEX DRIVE at all! When I would have SEX it was SO PAINFUL! I truly believe that these are 2 reasons it is so effective, you can't get pregnant if you're not having sex! The next thing was NUMBNESS and TINGLING in my HANDS and ARMS which threw me into PANIC ATTACKS (which I had never had, so I didn't know what they were at the time) I started to have the feeling of something in my throat, which I later found out was due to OVERACTIVE THYROID. (For any of you who LOST WEIGHT this might be the problem) I lost 14 lbs in 1 month. This might seem like a good thing but not for me. I'm around 105 lbs normally, I am starting to look like I am anorexic. I started to have HEART PALPITATIONS, maybe because of the constant panic attacks. (That's the fluttering or twitching feeling in your chest) I had it removed a week ago tomorrow. So far the anxiety has gotten a little better. I've read that it can take up to 3 months for the hormones to get out of your system. So I'm still waiting ANXIOUSLY for that to happen!

I have only had the mirena in for four weeks and I am having it removed tomorrow.I sympathize with you on the anxiety and panic attacks,ever since I got this in me I am suffering with them.I was also wondering how long it takes for the hormones to leave your system hopefully not long! It may depend on how long you have had it in for.I know I will be sort of relieved knowing it is out.Please keep us posted on your post mirena days,good luck!
