"so i got skyla inserted today (4/7/17). i&#039;m 24 yrs, 5&#039;7&quot;, 120 lbs, been thin all my life, never had a child. i read so many reviews and got so scared about insertion. day of insertion i was having major anxiety, so i took have of a xanax bar (1mg). it helped sooooo much. the less tense you are for insertion the less painful it is. i would highly recommend asking your doctor for a prescription for anti anxiety medication, even if it&#039;s just one pill for the procedure. the procedure itself lasted at most 5 mins and the pain was less than a minute. it feels like a cramp but more pressure and pinch. totally doable you will be fine! i&#039;m hoping skyla will help with my sex drive. just worried about gaining weight or acne. i will update again soon."
