"i had the mirena inserted 6 months ago, and slowly but surely my mood and mental state have been deteriorating ever since. where i would normally have pms i now cry so much i can&#039;t go to work or even answer the phone. my mood crashes with the suddenness and intensity of having a bucket of ice water poured over my head. my sex drive is gone. and this for something the doctors keep saying doesn&#039;t influence your moods because the hormones are localised in the body!? and when i finally got hold of someone from mirena themselves they just told me to go on anti-depressants. i can&#039;t wait to get it out of me tomorrow."
