Yep I got sent into a wicked mixed episode with severe OCD after I got the mirena put in. I was in and our of hospital for about 6 months, I had constant pain, bleeding, was completely and dangerously suicidal, lost my boyfriend, my work suffered, and I was constantly anxious. Had a few med changes during this period.
Then month 7, the pain went away, the bleeding went away and my mood leveled out. Now I have decreased medication to almost what it was before the mirena. No periods is fantastic, no more PMDD for me. I havent been suicidal in months when it used to happen every month at that time.
It was a rough trot for the first 6 months, but I was warned it was a risk and now I am continuing to get better and better. Hopefully I now stay stable hormonally for the next 4/5 years. At least now that the hormones are stable I can work on my issues without being in crisis every period.
