I got my Mirena exactly 3 years ago. For the last 3 years I have raved to everyone about it because It has stopped my periods completely and I don't have to worry about contraception. The insertion was no worse than a menstral cramp and very quick. However, over the last 3 years, I have NOT been my normal joyful loving self. I have been very grouchy and didn't really have a desire to do anything....NOTHING! I haven't cared one way or the other about anything. It's really been aweful for me, I can imagine how my husband and kids feel. My sex drive has gone WAY south. I have no desire at all. I have no passion. I have no care as to making any kind of decisions at all. I couldn't figure out what had changed. I couldn't figure out why I've been acting this way or why I have no desire, why I'm so tired all the time. It has really been an issue for me. Finally, after all this time, it came to me to do a search for Mirena side effects. I have read now several about depression as a side effect. I now know that I must have it removed for our home to have some sanity. I praise the Lord for revealing this to me. I am so excited! I would recommend the Mirena to anyone. It has been a great birth control device, if for no other reason than it completely depleated my desire to have sex! It truly is a great device if you don't experience any of these terrible emotions. I didn't have any weight gain or bad acne but this uncaring, indecisive, nonchelant, depressive attitude must go. Goodbye Mirena!!
