just by coincidence, i actually was having a spotting period when i got mine removed. i apologized to my new doctor and she said that was the best time to get it removed because the hormones would leave faster. with mirena i had intense anxiety and suicidal/depression. after removal i have not had any anxiety. i now cannot believe just how suicidal i was. luckily i have not needed any anti depressants. i have been taking a liquid B vitamin and working out to keep the good endorphins going. i am probably going through the hardest time in my life right now due to possible divorce, but at least now i feel i can handle anything that comes my way mentally. i love myself again and i feel like my old calm,cool, and collected self. most of my symptoms were gone in about 11 days after removal. now i feel some of them slightly return when i am pms.
