definitely yes, my daughter in law had it put in and she had all of the side effects mentioned above but the migraines would put her down for at least 3 days. Her doctor had come to a stand still on what was causing them. I did some digging on the internet and found the side effects included migraines. She had it removed and the relief was instantaneous. I witnessed every symptom that she had and the different person that came out after the removal was much better than the one with it in!! lol This was back in 2008 I believe. Good luck
