Hi, I'm new in here. I'm trying to find out info on any effects Mirena might have on Prozac. I started taking prozac about 2 weeks ago, my dr. thought it would help me w/ my ADD that I was wanting some help w/. Well, I have been extremely tired, feeling drugged up until I can focus long enough to make a pot of coffee. The only thing helping me to function right now is caffeine and that is not what I want. I'm so frustrated, my house is getting a mess b/c I barely have any energy. I have 2 little kids to take care of and I'm barely taking care of myself. I don't think this is normal. I'm wondering if prozac and mirena do not mix. I've taken Prozac in the past for anxiety and it worked very well for me. I'm only on 20 mg. The first 2 days on it I was wonderwoman, I was sooo focused and felt amazing. Anyways... also I have another question about the Mirena... I've been on it for a year now. I spotted like the first 6 months or so, then stopped having a period. Recently I've been having a light period once a month again. Also at my last pap smear the dr couldn't find the strings, could it possibly not be working b/c it's in the wrong place? Why would I be getting periods again and does this mean I could get pregnant? I am worried b/c I'm so tired all the time and feeling hungry all the time and peeing a lot lately. And that started right before I started the Prozac. Sorry this is so long and has a lot of different topics in it. Any thoughts on any of it would be appreciated a lot!
Thanks...Advertisement

My guess is it is the mirena. I was getting depressed, anxious and practically couldn't function just like when I was on mirena and in 2007 my doctor prescribed prozak. I took it for a month and then slowly weaned myself off of it. I feel like it did help me reset my brain and I started taking natural supplements. Then I had mirena removed. Did you have any of the bad symptoms just prior to prozak? Sorry I couldn't be more help but there is tons of info on this board. I used to love mirena for the first couple of years I had it. But it made me feel like an 80 year old and I didn't think it was the mirena until I found this board.

A couple questions.
did you have the ADD and anxiety prior to the mirena? MANY women on this forum are put on antidepressants (myself included) to treat those symptoms without knowing they are caused by mirena. If you already had them, mirena could also make them worse. I haven't heard anything about interaction between the two, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
What did your doc say when he couldn't find the strings? I would hope he would have investigated further. Your mirena could get dislodged and in that case you could definitely get pregnant.
As far as your symptoms-I am sure there are an AWFUL LOT of really messy houses on this forum, LOL! Fatigue, hunger and peeing alot ARE mirena side effects. (I personally couldn't get through a soccer practice w/o going into bathroom panic.)
Try making your coffee before bed, I love my automatic setting ;)

Thank you for the welcome. :)
Yes I did have ADD and anxiety before Mirena and it probably has made it worse. But what's really making it worse right now is actually the Prozac. It's weird b/c I know my body is still getting used to it, but one day I'll be a zombie (yesterday) and then the next day (today) I'll be fine and have plenty of energy. I don't feel like it's helping me very much though.
Also don't you think it's strange that I'm taking PROZAC for ADD? I'm pretty sure my Seretonin levels were normal b/c I have always been very positive and optimistic about life and wasn't feeling at all depressed. My dr is such an idiot. He gave me Prozac like it was candy and didn't even tell me one thing that I might go through w/ this. I've had so many side effects from it and was not prepared at all for this ride. I'm not sure if I should wait it out and see if it ends up helping or just get off it now.
Anyways... when my dr couldn't find the strings he had me make an apt for an ultrasound. But I couldn't make the apt b/c my husband ended up not being able to watch the girls. So I haven't done that yet. Going to reschedule though. I'm actually just going to have them take the thing out. Hopefully it's not lodged in me somewhere. I'm kind of freaked out about that now. Yikes.
Just bought some new coffee today though and will be trying out the auto mode!! Thanks!

This is a reply to # 1,339,649I take Prozac and Effexor.
My side effects were the same as many women's --Depression, irritability, lethargy, migraines, double-vision, etc. Many women who are not on antidepressants reported the same thing.
I don't think the Prozac had anything to do with it. In fact, I think being on 2 antidepressants was the only thing that allowed me to have the Mirena in and all that misery without killing myself. I got suicidal, but I did not act on it.
Anyway--I hope this helps...
