I had my Mirena removed two days ago and already feel a little more energy. I had it fitted in August 2006 and had major life changes about the same time. I moved to a new area and had a new job and my best friends moved 7 hours away from me...so when I started losing clumps of my hair, felt stressed out, tired all the time and depressed, I didn't think it was due to Mirena. I went to see a doctor and they told me it might be a thyroid problem so I had tests done and everything was fine. He said people lose their hair due to stress so I tried not to stress and all of my hair eventually grew back. I still felt tired all the time and would get angry easily and would have major depression episodes. I would stop talking to friends and family because I was this different person I didn't know how to tell them about. I was in college and my grades suffered because I would get so depressed I would get suicidal. I stopped taking a full load because I felt I wasn't mentally capable. I have always been very smart in school so for me to get bad grades made me feel even more depressed. I have had no drive to get out and do things that make me happy. I have had no sex drive. My boyfriend has been with me since a little before I had the Mirena inserted. I feel like he doesn't even know the real me. I feel so stupid for not adding this all up earlier and wasting 3 years of my life depressed. I told my doctor about all the symptoms before I had it removed and she said things in my life were most likely the reason not Mirena. I look at these posts and know she is wrong because people I know and family have seen me change for the worse and it has all been since I have had the Mirena. I was a person that would work all the time, take a full load of classes, go out with friends and family and enjoy life. Now I am a person that doesn't work, is taking 2 easy classes, most days stays in the room all day in bed on my computer and sleeps. This is ridiculous. I already want to leave the house. I am sure I am not back to normal already but I can see a spark there that wasn't there before. I am staying off birth control. I want my hormones to even out a little while before I even think of it again. Naturally we are supposed to have kids so when we take something to alter that we should be prepared for side effects. I would suggest getting this taken out because even if you think you may have no effects from it...later on you may realize you did. I will update with another post in a couple months to let you all know if my life has changed for the better. Good luck to you all.
