Hey ladies
hope everyone had a decent New Years! I did until the next day! Nope no drinking for me that just makes the anxiety worse and i really miss just a glass of wine now and then!! :( But i knew my period was coming without looking in my planner because boobs hurt and started to feel the tightness in throat and chest and just more general anxiety. My Last period didnt seem as bad but i still haven't gotten my period and I am already 2 days late! Which last time i was 1 day late now two going on 3 hmmm Also I have been having that waking up like i couldn't breathe for the past few nights! Which i hate and i took a nap while my kiddos were napping today and it was the same thing pounding of chest, chest feeling heavy and jerking awake like i couldn't breathe. It scares me so much and i pray every night i wake up in the morning because im just so scared that this is going to kill me! I'm on prozac right now but I am wondering if i need something a little different. the natural stuff did not help at all and i really wished it would have but now i feel like the prozac is starting to lose that effect it had. I have only been on it for a few months but who knows. Plus has anyone been on anything like prozac or zoloft and then after getting off had a child? Me and myh husband are so in between right now he wants one more and so do i really but i want to feel better before i even consider it. He wants to get a Vasectomy when we are sure we are done but if i never feel better is it worth just waiting or just getg the vasectomy and leave the kids alone
Thanks ladies hope for some response

This is a reply to # 1,896,457WHen I tried prozac I did that jerking awake thing all night long. Very scary experience. I think any type of medication made that worse for me.... except an ativan.... that's the only thing that made it stop so I could sleep for the night.

This is a reply to # 1,896,457To answer your question, I was on Zoloft for a few months to help with post-mirena symptoms. I was feeling better, so weaned myself off, and got pregnant (surprise!) a couple months later. My daughter is 1 1/2 now, and healthy. If you are planning, I would recommend waiting until you feel a little better before getting preggers though. It's nerve racking to be pregnant and not feeling well, not knowing if it's ok, or if it's because of Mirena.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 1,896,457Hello Jeanette,
Sorry to hear ur feeling this way....I too feel like I'm dying and this thought is the very thing that have me bed bound....too afraid to do anything bc performing daily simple task seems to make my situation worst than it is. How long have u had the mirena before removing it? Also how long has it been removed? How many children do you have? I have 3 boys and always wanted a girl but after this I don't want to have another child. I wish my husband would consider "getting clipped" but not in a million years. I'm not telling u which direction u should go. children are a blessing, the more the merrier, I must admit I felt better while pregnant but immediately giving birth I felt terrible again. I felt faint which was always a Mirena symptom. I felt some relief months after the birth probably bc I was breastfeeding but not 100% I was rght back to square one with 3 children now instead of 2 so I say all this to say if u can handle the Mirena symptoms with a newborn baby and the ones u have then go for it. But for me the Mirena symptoms never really disappeared long enough for me for me to plan for another child. And I never took any antidepressant more than 2 days so I can't speak about it. Sorry!

This is a reply to # 1,896,728Thanks ladies for the support yes the ativan does help and that what i have been having to take for the past few nights just so it will stop. it seems to happen right before i start my period. And BOOM guess what this morning i started!!! I actually feel better today than i have for the past week. I had the mirena for 2 1/2 years and got it removed Sept 6th isn't it amazing I remember that day like its a birthday or anniversary cause I was so happy to get it out! So I have roughly had it out for 4 months...No miracle yet but i am still praying every night that one day we all feel better and back to our original selves. I guess its a no go on the other baby at least not for right now With 3 yr old twins and the anxiety plus being pregnant I don't think i could handle that unless I had some live-in help and I don't see that ever happening and I am grateful that my husband is willing to get snipped I thank God everyday for him. Even though sometimes he doesn't understand what I am going through and can lose his patience with what is wrong with me he still tries to see that there is something wrong and it wasn't my fault. I have been wondering about trying Zoloft because I hear it works better for some so who knows I will have to see what the doc says

This is a reply to # 1,896,728Hi 102041, I read your post and have so many symptoms too because of mirena. I'm 26 months post mirena removal and just had a baby which is two months now and breastfeeding her. After mirena removal and during pregnancy and till this day I still feel sick. My symptoms are not as bad as they used to be at the beginning but i still cant function like I did before mirena. I dont want to mention all the symptoms because they are so many but could you tell me more about your story because it sounds like mine. Many other women here had babies after mirena and they feel great during pregnancy and after and in my case i feel just as bad. I had a total of two mirenas over 6 1/2 years and didn't relate that my symptoms were because of mirena until I got really ill. I try to look for any other posts of yours but couldn't find any other one than todays. Do you mind sharing your story with me?
Thank you
Cynthia
