I'm two weeks post-removal and was feeling some relief after 4 months of anxiety.So this weekend I felt alot better. But yesterday and today my anxiety level went from controlable to all out panick attacks! I fell like nobody believes me or understands what I'm going through. I work and go to school full time, but my stress level has never been this high and i have never had anxiety. I'm having crazy thoughts about death and anxiety about anxiety and I'm so mean! I snap at everything. Nothing makes sense in my mind and when I verbalize them to family and friends I feel even crazier! When will this end? I just want to back to normal with trying any meds, I'm already taking xanax for sleep and even that gives me anxiety! Reading everybodies postings makes me feel alittle better. But then I'm so worried about my recovery. My doctor even thinks that I am just stressed, but I know my body and this is not me.
Thank you guys for letting me vent, I'm sorry its so long.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,167,314Have you seen a psychiatrist? You're probably getting "rebound" anxiety from the xanax (klonopin would be more long-lasting), and you could probably use an anti-depressant to get into your system to control the anxiety. The anti-anxiety drugs are so addictive....
I had uncontrollable anxiety, too, but it lifted about 4 days post-removal. My doctor suspects the IUD put me over the edge-as my EEG showed abnormal brain waves that were most likely the direct cause of the 7 week long anxiety attack. You may have an anxiety disorder that the Mirena complicated.
I am so sorry to hear you haven't gotten any relief. I know how the long the 7 weeks were that I had it, so I can only imagine that you're barely hanging on.

This is a reply to # 1,167,385Yup. I had it too. I was using the extended release Xanax which is supposed to work for 24 hours. I'd notice the rebound anxiety after 4-6 hours.- Re: Still having anxiety. =( feelingextremecraziness

This is a reply to # 1,167,3973 years. I had other side effects that I never attributed to the IUD, but nothing that was serious enough that I would have removed it. They had been getting increasingly worse over the last year or so that I'd had it--but I really only realized that afterwards, too. I had been increasingly anxious looking back, too, but rarely to a point that I even thought about it.
One day, FOR NO REASON, the anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks and didn't let up until 7 weeks later when I had Mirena removed. It was 24 hours a day and medication didn't really help. Anti-depressants made me worse (I'm apparently over-sensitive to serotonin-based meds). I spent 5 days in a mental hospital. I was a mess.
Keep trying different things...something will work. I felt like my body got used to being anxious and I had to break the cycle. Does that make any sense?Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,167,432I had mine for 1.5 years and had symptoms that i could live with. Then just like you one day it hit me and i totally understand about your body "getting used to it". thats how i feel too. I think that i need to stop trying things to help me get better and just let my body do it.
Thanks for talking with me. Its helps my anxiety to know someone else felt like i do.

This is a reply to # 1,167,495Something I did the day before the anxiety "lifted"....it could be a coincidence, but it may have helped, who knows? I had xanax to take at bedtime (which I didn't use very much), but I woke up one morning so anxious and so exhausted emotionally from fighting for days on end, that I took the xanax in the morning instead. It knocked me on my butt and I slept for hours, but it seemed like it broke the cycle of the anxiety (I had a real pattern of how it would go every day...bad in the morning, easing up mid-afternoon).
Anything I can tell you that helps, I'm an open book. I know first hand how miserable you must be. - Re: Still having anxiety. =( 3jaysmom

”I was surprised by the effectiveness of it, and I wasn’t hungry.”
I never had anxiety before the mirena, but when it started, OH MY GOD, it was crazy. I was put on ativan 1mg, and it just made me feel like I was having out of body experiences, but still panicy, so I stopped (that feeling didn't go right away, either) my dr thought I was depressed from the constant anxiety, and wanted me to go on wellbutrin, but I had enough of meds at that point between the mirena crap and the ativan. So I tried acupuncture and it was amazing. I don't know what they do or how it works, it just stopped the anxiety in its tracks, kind of like when jenchna said that she broke the cycle, I think that is what the acupuncture did for me. I think she's right, you just have to break the anxiety cycle by different meds or acupuncture,or some other method to maybe "shock" the brain into diverting the energy to the right path. I know this sounds new- agey, but its worth a shot. I still have anxiety issues from the mirena, but I have not had a full blown attack scince the first acupuncture treatment.- Re: Still having anxiety. =( feelingextremecraziness

This is a reply to # 1,167,569I usally get the anxiety during the day and at night. I want to go see a therapist to see if talking about my "fears" but then im scared about them putting me on anti-anxiety meds. I might try the accupuncture, it sounds like it might work. I think i'll try anything right know, I'm so desperate! I'm fighting insomia and i dont think that helps me control my anxiety. Thank you guys for listening. I'll take all the advice you guys got, so keep throwing it my way!

This is a reply to # 1,167,653There are a lot of acupuncture offices around where I live, so I called them all, and one had a cancellation and could see me that day, so that is where I went! I was desperate, so I didn't do any research. It wasn't the best method, but it ended up working just fine. They have a board that they should be accredited with, but I can't remember what the name is. If you check online in your area, they will usually say who they are accredited with. Good luck.

This is a reply to # 1,590,857I would get it out Ashley. My anxiety issues were the first side effect to manifest. around the 2 year mark the physical ones started, and it got progressively worse. I have been on xanax for 1.5 years now. It has helped me tremendously,and I am slowly tapering off it. I think it gets a bad rap. You are just as likely to get "addicted" to the antidepressants from what I can tell-thus, the weaning off.
You may not get a lot of responses to your post b/c you are replying to a very old thread. Most of the active posters are responding to the last page on the forum. Usually it comes up as a chronological view, based on the first post in the thread.

This is a reply to # 1,167,569Hello
I was wondering what you felt like after acupuncture?
I had a session today and I feel very drowsy, tired and my cheeks are flushed. I was wondering if this was normal.
Thanks,

This is a reply to # 2,049,339Hey
Yes it was my first session. I had a needle in each wrist, each foot and one in upper abdomen. It completely knocked me out for the whole rest of the day. But my anxiety has definitely been a lot better since having it. So I am going to have 4 more sessions as it's obviously doing something :)
I also had a CBat counselling session last week which is helping me deal with the uncertainty of what is happening and accept that sometimes there is no quick cure or answer.
Do you feel better after having it?

”I was surprised by the effectiveness of it, and I wasn’t hungry.”
I had Mirena for almost the full 5 years, 3 weeks before my 5 years I ended up in the Hospital with a Panic attack. I've never had a panic attack before in my life, I had noticed here and there after i got Mirena that I seemed to develop anxiety, I got Mirena put in at the age of 15 after I had my daughter. Before Mirena I never had anxiety... I was captian of my cheerleading team... competitive dancer ect. But 3 weeks before my 5 years I was all out panic attack mode in the hospital i mean like totally freaking out. ever since than i have had anxiety pretty much full blown but not actual panic attacks but I can't seem to leave the house with out starting to not feel good and going to bed is very difficult. After the hospital released me with Valiumn on hand i was out for almost 3 days but after that I knew i couldn't just take it every day for the rest of my life so i just stopped. but the anxiety is still here.. I went to a theripist on a Wednesday one week after the hospital and they prescribed me anti anxiety meds. but i have not taken them considering i don't even like to take tylenol for a headache. I'm not big on meds. The Theripist is the one that told me the Mirena could be causing it. I got My Mirena removed last Friday, its been 5 days and i still have anxiety i'm so ready for this to go away i really hope it does. its very difficult to deal with anxiety on a day to day basis and i want to be "normal" again.
