I've had mirena for ten months now and it's the only birth control that i didn't have these mental breakdowns with. but the physical side effects are more annoying than anything. I had my period when the doctor put in the mirena and it never stopped... i had my period constantly for 7 months. and i'm STILL spotting. not only that i have this constant discharge that my doctor seems to say it's normal. well it doesn't feel or smell normal that's for sure. i have to use a tampon and change it at least twice a day to keep it under control. i'm embarrassed by it but it's the ONLY birth control that doesn't screw up my emotional system. condoms don't even work because i usually have an allergic reaction to it, even sheep skin! i'm so pissed off about it. my doctor says i'm fine and it's normal but i'm not gonna do this for the full five years...

It's normal : ( Hang in there... usually the side effects are gone by 1 year. I had all the same problems as you and they ALL were gone by one year. I've had Mirena for 3 years now. Good luck!
