IUD and Anxiety
Long story short, I was put on birth control when I was in high school to lessen some anxiety. My anxiety/panic attacks would occur right before my periods so we related it to PMS’ing and a hormone imbalance. For the most part, bc did the trick.
About 2 years ago, I had the Liletta IUD put in to have safer sex and at the time, I explained to my OB that I was afraid of how it could affect my anxiety. She basically said there’s no way of knowing and I may have grown out of it. Unfortunately my fears came true and I’ve been having anxiety and panic attacks again, starting about 6 months after my IUD was inserted.
I’m seriously considering having it removed so I’m curious to know if anyone else has experienced anxiety before/after an IUD?
(I’m also not a fan of the random, sometimes unusual, cramping of the IUD.)
