Hi. I feel for you, I really do. I had my IUD in for 9 months and it's been out for 3 weeks now. I felt a "lifting of my mood" within 24 hours! I have been on anti anxiety meds for years, longer than I had the mirena, but the side effects were most definately from the IUD. I went back on the pill immediately the same day I had it removed so as to have no break in hormones. The pill has always worked for me so I just went back to it. No awful side effects like Mirena. It's obvious each woman has to find what works best. But after having it out 3 weeks, I feel happy again, in much better mood, and most side effects have already cleared or are milder now. It we definately worth it to get it out. I wish you the best of luck. Don't know how long it takes to get out of the wood completely, but at least we're not adding to it any longer after it is removed. You can begin to heal after that.
i felt better the instant it was out, but it did take a while for the terrible side effects to properly go away, most had gone within two weeks, but some did linger a bit long but nothing compared with when the mirena was in. Removal was quick and painless....
