"i am 18 with no kids and decided i wanted to go through medical school without having to worry about having a child so decided on skyla.  for the insertion i took one xanax i don&#039;t remember the dosage but my experience was pretty much painless a slight burning feeling when she pulled on my cervix but nothing more! my period has lightened a ton! but the cramps i get during my period are very painful! overall i love it and am a firm believer in it!"
