Re: Side effects; has anyone found them to 'increase' over time?

Yeah, when I had the mirena, my symptoms were like the worst pms that just got worse every week. Watch out for the "crash" post removal (worsening of symptoms after removal, especially mental/emotional, only temporary) You might try taking a vitex supplement to help balance your hormones and st. john's wort if you have mood symptoms, they take a while to work, so start them ASAP if you do. Good luck!
