Copper IUD - Intense Anxiety

[BrattyTiger009]

Hi everyone,
This is my first post ever, so please bare with me, but I'm seeking advice wherever possible.
I've been suffering so much the past few weeks, and I haven't know what's been going on. I've suffered with my periods for as long as I remember, intense depression, crying, anxiety, the odd panic attacks and extreme pain. My friends have always said they've never known anyone to experience such bad emotions during periods, and often said it's like I'm allergic to my own reproductive system.
I cannot touch any contraception with hormones in, and find myself often feeling so tremedously depressed and anxious when I do. Though the suggestion came up to have the copper IUD - as there's nothing hormonal within it. I had it inserted, and my phsyical symptoms were excrutiating. I felt horrendous, but as my mental pain was okay, I didn't mind being in agony, as I could take some painkillers and have a hot bath.
Though cut to about six weeks ago, and I woke up with the most horrendous panic attacks. Ones I've not had since I was a teenager. And the most horrendous, impending sense of doom. I thought it would fade, but it lasted days, until eventually my GP said it could be the copper coil. I had it removed that day, and it's been about a month, but I'm still feeling horrendous!!! I'm having daily panic attacks, I'm unable to sleep, my anxiety is awful and my depression is telling me this is going to last forever and I've messed my body up for life. Is there any hope this will leave? Does anyone have similiar symptoms with the copper coil? I've read pages after pages that it can cause anxiety.
Please. I'm desperate. I just want my life back.

I've had 2 copper coils. There are no hormones in them. I had no mental side effects whatsoever.
How old are you OP?
Your symptoms sound like perimenopause?

Actuslly massive misconception that the copper coil doesn't mess with hormones. While it doesn't put any artifical hormones inside you. What it's job is essentially killing any sperm before it reaches the egg or sometimes just after, and releasing copper to make the uterus an in habitable environment. This process stops natural hormones entering the uterus area at the levels they're supposed to because of the copper barrier as such, and also killing any good bacteria while it's at it. That's why if you're already prone to things lile bv or thrush you might experience this more with the copper iud as well.

So actuslly there is alit of stuff out there for women who are on a copper iud and end up suffering eith terrible debilitating pms symptoms or pmdd and there is actually a potential link between the inflammatory response the copper causes in your uterus and some women with endo.
