Worried

I have had this IUD for less then a year and I feel like in this past year everything has fallen apart. I was finally off my anxiety meds and ready for a clean start. Now, Im sick to my stomach every day. Nausea, headaches, constant anxiety attacks... I cant seem to escape the bathroom. My job is being compromised becuase I have to call off for one reason or another, more often then not. My marriage is being stressed because I am asking my husband to do more around the house then I am willing to do and when he gets upset I just retaliate by being MORE upset. Its a never ending cycle that usually ends up in one of us sleeping on the couch.

I got the IUD because I have had horrible luck with other birth controls. Depo made me gain 60 lbs in six months and the pill made me have morning sickness after three months because my body cant handle elevated hormone levels. I TOLD my doctor this when I sceduled to have a fitting and she said that I wouldnt have problems with this one. well, here is a break down of my problems....

~headaches
~nausea
~diareah
~aches and pains
~loss of sexual appitite
~loss of real appitite
~exhaustion
~mood swings
~depression/stress
~anxiety

The worst part of everything is I have to schedule to have it taken out, I cant just stop taking it like depo and the pills. Who knows how long it will take for me to get in the doctors office. I am going to call today, seeing as I had to call off work because I have been vomiting all morning (related or not, I dont know).

I just hope that everything goes back to normal after I have it taken out because I cant handle the stress Im giving myself. I cant handle being sick another day. I just want things back the way they used to be when I wasnt constantly trying to make excuses of why the house isnt clean or why the laundry didn't get done, or why I cant go to work, or out with friends.

My advice to anyone thinking of getting this IUD is that 50/50 chance you MIGHT get the symptoms people describe in here should be more then enough cause TRUST ME, you don't want to end up in my shoes. Its not worth it. And the sad thing is that Im out of birth control options. But even so, I would have rather NOT gotten this at all.
