Thank God Almighty, I am free at last!!:-) I had my mirena IUD taken out about 3-4 weeks ago. I had it for a little over 2 years, and did not experience any major complications until Spetmeber of this past year. I started experiencing extreme....I mean EXTREME anxiety, I had to even take a medical leave from work. Being a teacher, that did not really make for a good year. I have been through a roller coaster of emotions, anxiety, depression, etc. I am so happy to have this thing out, and slowly but surely I am feeling better. My question is, Generally, how long (for those of you experienced these symptoms, and took yours out) does it take for the anxiety and related symptoms to go away or get better?
