Re: Wieght gain, insomnia, dry eyes, depression, bloated, and water retention

Just so I understand what you're going through- your doctor talked you into Mirena? Then you started GAINING 3-4 pounds by morning? You can't sleep, you're depressed, etc... all since Mirena? When did you have yours inserted?
If that is your situation- I can understand what you're going through. I would wake in the middle of the night, even though I was exhausted, and lie there worrying for 2+ hours. I didn't have a problem with weight gain but at the height of the insomnia I did start to go into depression... it did feel like I was in a tunnel, or a dark place, and couldn't find my way out. I struggled through the day. That has started to ease up since I've gotten the insomnia under control a bit.
I am scheduled to have my Mirena out tomorrow... hopefully that will help my sex drive, lack of energy, bits of insomnia still remaining, restless legs, etc.
I, too, have always been sensitive to birth control... my body can't handle the hormones.
Do you think your symptoms are linked to Mirena?
