I've posted here before right after I removed my mirena. Well it's been 27 days since I've had it out. At first I felt great. I had a period two days after I removed it. That period lasted a week long. Right after my period I CRASHED MAJORLY!!!! I had severe depression, severe anxiety and really bad leg and joint pain. All of that lasted about a little over a week. I got put on clonazapam and 20 mg. of celexa. So far I'm doing pretty good. I still get a little leg and joint pain, but not as bad and it doesn't last as long. I feel 90 % better and am expecting my second period on the 9th. I really hope I don't crash again. It was awful!! While on the mirena I had high blood pressure, fast heart rate, low grade fever, joint and leg pain, anxiety and depression, bloating like I was 4-5 months pregnant, nausea, heartburn, headaches, body aches (like I was sick), carpul tunnel syndrome (which I only get when i'm pregnant just like the heartburn) and more! Everything went down or completely away within a couple of weeks of having it removed. All except my heart rate. I am on a low dose of beta blockers to keep my heart rate from going over 100. Just like many of you I have been tested for many things like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and so on. i have also been suspected of having hyperthyroidism, but with negative results from blood work. We are experiencing a major hormonal imbalance from this mirena. I just hope and pray our dr.'s will do their research and realize we are all right about our experiences and something can be done about this IUD. There is hope. Your bodies will regulate. It's only been about 4 weeks for me, but I am feeling better so far since my crash. Don't hesitate to tell your dr.'s about any depression and anxiety you may be experiencing as those are very serious side effects and can be treated even if it's just temporary to get you through the crash. I also take a one a day multi vitamin. So maybe that will help to.
please don't take this the wrong way but since you've had a bad reaction to mirena, why have you immediately gone onto other drugs to deal with it? americans are just too damn dependent on drugs. give your body sometime to adjust itself. putting more drugs into the mix is the last thing you need.
clonazapam is a very dangerous drug. it can cause severe thought disturbances. i know someone who had been taking it for 2 wks when he got up one morning, went to the roof of his building and jumped to his death.
if you look at the side effects, they include paranoid and delusional thinking. it says to "call your doctor immediately" if these occur. the problem is, if you're having paranoid delusions, you're probably not capable of recognizing them as such.
i can't believe your doctor perscribed not one, but two drugs for what is probably a temporary depression. mirena has disrupted your hormones. you have to expect some upheavals as your body tries to rebalance itself
