I think that I finally figured out why I am so physically and mentally sick. I received the mirena almost 2 years ago and I was a true advocate of the product...I love it!! About 6 months ago I started to have panic attacks and anxiety (i have never experienced this before) it was so bad that I barely made it to work everyday and could no longer handle being out in public. My PCP placed me on different types of anti-depressants (which made me depressed). Currently I take Budeprion which has decreased my anxiety but I do not feel like myself. The past month and a half I wake up with the feeling of morning sickness (the numerous pregnancy test say that I am not), have headaches, low energy levels and little motivation. I was pretty sure that my hormones levels must be "off" but my PCP and OB insisted that there is no way that my symptoms have anything to do with my hormones because my child is almost 2 years old and I am 29 years old. I have gone through numerous tests on my gallbladder and other organs to find the cause of these symptoms that I have and Everything is Fine. After reading the stories on this website I now know that I do not need anti-depressants and I am not going crazy...I just need to get the Mirena removed.

Oh my God, Lisa
I am literally reading my own story as I read your post. You are the 3rd woman including myself ( that I have read, to have the symptoms about 2 to 2 and 1 half years after insertion.) I am 27 with a 2 and a half year old. My symptoms started around April of this year. The first was anxiety--- severe. I was almost hospitalized and my daughter had to go with my mom. I had every concievable symptom of aniexty/depression there is. Then I had sever pain in my side and a lot of gi symptoms. I ended up having my gallbladder removed. It just failed. I was never told why. I have never had a problem with it before. So that may have been caused by the Mirena too. I was put on celexa for the anxiety and klonopin for the severe insomnia. I also have gained about 25 lbs and cannot get it off for the life of me. I also started having cystic acne that will not go away. Severe headaches. The list goes on and on. Like you I thought I was literally going crazy. I was put into an outpatient group therapy program. But it wasn't until I said "NO MORE" did the symptoms subside. I still have some trouble sleeping but the anxiety and depression have been pretty much dealt with with meds. Which is not my ideal situation, but I will take it for now. Please don't lose hope. And know that there are women who know what you have been going through. Please message me whenever you need to talk.

I will post how everything goes with me as well. I'm getting mine removed this week. God willing.
