Title: Emotional and anxious
Post by: cherub0308 on April 21, 2014, 08:38:00 PM

Hi ladies

Feeling very emotional and anxious. Didn't have a period last month first time  this had happened. I have been up to two weeks late before.  Back on dose of anti depressants I was on before. Having a very rough time. Just feel I am going round in circles.

I am considering going back to the gynecologist who fitted  the coil for heavy periods. I wonder if this is what  is causing me to feel low. Also been taking estrogen for  8 wks.

Sorry to read you are feeling so low cherub. Is it the mirena coil you have had fitted as this can stop periods totally for some women.

HI Taz

Yes it is the merina..I've had enough of emotion. It's just got worse over the past couple  of years.
Reducing anti depressants has been he'll :(  there doesn't  seem to be any let up.

The mirena can cause anxiety and depression in some women. This is a Mumsnet thread http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/feeling_depressed/551551-mirena-coil-and-depression-anxiety/AllOnOnePage
