Re: Mirena Panic Attacks

It could be the iud and it could be something else. You won't really know unless you have it removed and stop having the attacks.

My personal experience hasn't been as severe, but I do have pretty bad anxiety. It started about a month after I had the iud inserted. I honestly thought I was just going through a funk, but my body is telling me something else. Accompanied with depression, jont pain, acne, heart flutters (which cause me more anxiety which cause more heart flutters) and a bunch of other stuff all rolled into one. I have no energy and have totally stopped taking care of myself, so I feel crappy. I HATE being around people now, can't stand to have to even talk on the phone, go through a drivethrough, go to the store, anything where I would have to be talked to. I quit school and barely speak to or see anyone except at work. I am a shut in. I just get really nervous and feel rotten about myself, specially in social situatons. Plus my temper is really bad now. Which is NOT like me at all and it all started very shortly after the iud was put into place. I do feel like it's hormonal, it feels like super bad PMS. You know where everything is irrational and blown out of proportion and you feel like crying all the time?? That's how I feel.

After finding this site a few days ago and reading all the emotional problems that these ladiee are having, I'm CONVINCED it's my hormones. I'm having my iud removed tomorrow. Good luck! Tweet
