I had a mirena put in 5 years ago and had some weight gain and problems with ovarian cysts. My Dr. never told me the cysts might be related. They are extremely painful when they rupture - like having appendicitis. I had that one removed and then a new one put in three weeks ago. I have never been so sick in my life. I was unable to hold down food for 12 days and unable to get out of bed for 8. After that I started having severe ovarian cysts on both ovaries with one rupturing last Friday. I now have a metallic taste in my mouth that has basically destroyed my ability to eat. My breasts are very tender and I have had faintng spells. I am not sure if they changed the medication in the last 5 years but this is ridiculous. I think I am going to have this thing taken out at the 6 week check up. I am finished with kids and it is not worth it.

Oh my goodness this sounds just like me minus the cysts. I have had fainting spells, dizzyness, stomach pains, and ridiculous weight gain. I am so ready to get rid of this thing. I am going back to the ring. I have felt horrible since I got this placed. I bleed for two weeks at a time every month. Worst then my regular cycle! I hate this thing. I just wanted secure birth control I didn't have to worry about with not so many complications but I am taking this out asap!!!

Hello,
I started Nexium about a week ago and I stopped it 2 days into taking it.It has caused the Metallic taste/smell and it is truely annoying it almost smells like ammonia.I also have a very very dry mouth/throat with these,my dr told me there is no meication to take this away.So do I live with it. I think we all need to contact the makers of these meds and tell them they need to make a cure for this taste as I am annoyed. I also take effexor xr and anti anxiety medication and that to can cause this so i have no clue as what to do.If anyone knows please contact me @tamkahler@yahoo.com thank you.
