"after 6 months with this iud i couldn&#039;t take it anymore. i had to have it removed. i have never ever in my life dealt with depression/anxiety/panic attacks until i got the copper iud. (before the iud my periods were fairly light and 4-5 days on average. light pms. some back pain) with the iud  they were 7-8 days. so heavy i had to wear a pad and a jumbo tampon and change every 2 hours horrible cramping to where my only relieve was laying in bed curled up with heating pad. midol/tylenol rarely made a difference. around my time of pms i would suddenly feel very very depressed and sooo fatigue. and then my mind would race into a downward spiral where i would then panic i would feel this way forever.... glad to have this out &amp; be me again!!!!"
