Has anyone suffered from Anxiety/Depression after mirena insertion?
I've had a really rough 12 months but I've never suffered from depression/anxiety. 12 months ago I had the mirena inserted to control my mestural cycle.
Just wondering if anyone has had an onset of anxiety or depression after they had the mirena inserted?
I've made an appointment with my GP next week and I'm going to discuss having it removed.

I've heard of a lot of women having the same problem. On a local fb group 1 woman who was normally afraid of death became suicidal. She had it removed and felt so much better several other women relied to her post saying they had depression since having it.
The insertion was excruciating! After two years I went to have mine removed for all the same symptoms other people have mentioned and was told that My symptoms are completely unrelated and it's not possible that it would have those effects. I spent 20 minutes convincing him I wanted it out so After a horrifying attempt at "finding" it with a "merina removal tool" (for when the strings can't be seen) he decided it had fallen out. After an ultrasound and an internal ultrasound there was no sign of it but I went for an X-ray and they found it. They're unsure when it happened but it's gone through my uterus and is around my bowel area so I go in for surgery in a couple of weeks to see how much damage is done and try to have it removed (depending on wether it's attached to anything). Both the gp and gyno are being very pushy about having another one put in. Never again!
