I've had mine for 4 1/2 years and until the last couple months, I was told I had depression, was bipolar, etc. I don't believe it because even when I was on Depo I had severe depression and gained 50 pounds while controlling my diet and exercising. Mirena helped with the weight gain, but no one told me that I would lactate! I never heard of such of thing until I talked to a Physicians Assistant and she told me about these "lesser" side effects. All of which I have and never knew. She recommends I don't use hormonal birth control. I was never even on birth control until AFTER I had both my kids. I just want my tubes tied and done with. I too have had horrible adult acne, sweating, and my PCP blamed it on depression and wanted to pump me with more chemicals. No thank you. I just want to be clear of it all and back to my old self....
