I had the mirena inserted on 8th Jan. I've had a lightish wartery bleed. The last 3 days that became a bit more very light period like. Ordinarily I have big clots and flooding so nothing like that!

However the last two days I've been dizzy, demotivated and very tired. The dizziness is really disconcerting.

Anyone else felt like this?

I had negative moods after having it, and just did not feel myself. Took me ages to get it taken out. GPs just stonewalled and made it as hard as possible to get it out…. Much easier to find an appt to get it put in.

A friend had terrible panic attacks while on it. Took her ages to realise the connection. Since taking it out she hasn’t had another one.

I hated my Mirena. I got a severe depression that made me suicidal. I could have physically ripped it out myself had the drs not agreed to take it out for me.

It took me far too long to realise what was causing it too - I regret ever getting it, will never have another, and will never recommend it.

Exactly the same experience here . Was horrific.
