I was on medication for depression until a year ago when I got pregnant (I stopped them due to risk to the baby) it actually was getting worse and was considering going on the medication anyway but I waited until the baby was born and 2 months ago, I had mirena inserted. I was going to get "fixed" but the doctor recommended mirena instead since it stops your periods, and I've had the coil before so I figured, hey why not.
I haven't really had any horrible side effects to report only a weird discharge instead of a period (which I'd prefer to a period anyway!)but I went online just to make sure that this discharge was normal. Apparently there are some real horror stories out there about mirena, and most people say they only started like 6 months afterwards. The thing that scares me is the depression and suicidal thoughts some of these women reported. However, since being on mirena, I've actually found my depression to be lessening and feel really no need to go back on paxil. I actually feel better than I have the last couple of years! What I need to know is.. is it possible that mirena could have opposite effects on people already depressed? Or should I be worried that my depression will come back with a vengence in a few months?

Somebody please help.
