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 and I am 29 years old. I have gone through numerous tests, scans etc.to find the cause of why I feel so awful and all tests came back 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.

I am also 29 years old. i have 2 children that are going to be 5 and 2 in December. i had the mirena inserted on july 16,2007. Every since then i think i have become mentally unstable myself. I have panic attack as well, at night i cant sleep and since have seperated from my husband. I cant sleep at night and i lay there in axiety and think about everything going on. Many days i get bare minimum 2 hours of sleep. Also i dont care what the OBGYN says about your symptoms cant be post pardum becuase of your kid is almost 2...with my frist child i had PPD for almost 2 years.. and was on meds for it. The doctors go by what they learn text book wise and clinical expierences.. lo and behold not every womans body is the same!..i have chronic back ache that is never relieved with tylenol...chronic discharge that is tinged red or brown and you never know when it is going to come. i feel like i have PMS 24/7 ... CANT WAIT TO GET THE MIRENA REMOVED
