birth control
"I have been on Mirena for about 18 months now. At first I experienced cramping and bleeding for about 3 months, then it regulated and I haven't had a period for over a year now. That part I love! However, about 6 months after insertion, I began experiencing major anxiety issues, panic attacks, etc. I've never had anxiety issues before so I was confused. Until recently, I hadn't put my anxiety and Mirena together, but after reading so many reviews about anxiety problems with Mirena, I'm some-what forced to consider the removal of Mirena. There are no other logical explanations other than the hormone release that is causing my anxiety, which has become extremely difficult to deal with on a daily basis."
