There is some kind of synthetic progesterone that is a disaster and causes just this kind of thing. I have no idea if it's in combo or what. I can't remember what kind it was.

Years ago, for some reason, my wife was given progesterone and it made her bat shit crazy. I thought I would have to take her for evaluation or something. I told her to stop taking it, and it resolved by days. I told her never to take that stuff again and she hasn't.

It's actually been known for a long time that female psychosis and hormones are closely related. Eg:

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1296638/full

"Previous scientific evidence has shown a relationship between hormones and the onset and relapse of perinatal psychotic disorders (PPD) in women..."

I suspect that the harms of these IUD's is deliberately suppressed for profit. I absolutely do not trust the FDA or any other government agency now that they have so completely exposed themselves and merely a marketing arm of the pharma industry, willing to kill as many people as necessary to please their owners.

Thanks @Ceffer

My own relative had the Mirena IUD, and it does indeed have synthetic progesterone:

https://www.gynob.com/risk-factors-of-the-mirena-iud.htm

"Mirena is the brand name for an IUD which contains small amounts of synthetic progesterone hormones which are absorbed into the wall of the uterus."

And now that I think about it, the other two cases I personally heard of were also with the Mirena IUD.

A lot more stories like this:

As you know, I am desperately looking for a cure, a reason. While cleaning out her apartment, I came across some of her papers. Once of them was a billing for the Mirena IUD, just about a year ago, when she first began her second phase of feeling like she was losing it. Hmmm. Needed to look that one up.

A Google search for Mirena IUD mercury (trying to figure out what cause Emma’s high mercury levels in her blood) pulled up some sites, and then I stumbled upon a site that started off with a young woman who had bad side effects from the Mirena IUD. This blog site is lifeaftermirena.blogspot.com. Other women chimed in, some with great testimonies about that type of IUD, and some with horror stories that they attributed to the strong hormones in the Mirena.

Most of the side effects reported were bloating and weight gain. A few (very few) of these women reported depression, anxiety attacks, panic disorders, suicidal thoughts, visions of bad things happening to their family.

The Mirena IUD is manufactured by Bayer. This IUD releases small amounts of the hormone levonorgestrel into the woman’s uterus to provide continuous birth control for up to 5 years.

I suspect it was; this just happened to me. I hope everything has turned out well for your daughter and you, I’d be interested to know what has happened since and whether you were able to ever get anyone in the medical community to listen and/or take you seriously wrt your concerns regarding the Mirena IUD and psychosis linkage.

I had the IUD inserted on December 9, 2013 and ended up in a fairly bad state of psychosis and just got off the phone with a friend who indicated the Mirena IUD had horrible impacts of increasing anxitey for two of her friends as well

Hi. I am currently experiencing psychosis and for the first time in my life going to therapy and seeing a psychiatrist. I was given Laatuda. I have been in a constant state of panic and high anxiety since Sept of this year 2014. I was at my ropes end and then came across the issues others have had about Mirena and psychosis/anxiety/panic attacks. All doctors GP and GYN brushed off as just a panic attack and that I will be fine. Only one nurse expressed to me that I need to remove the Mirena and that this all sounded hormonal. I have gained an enormous amount of weight. Severe depression. Outrageous panic attacks. Hair falling out. Sense of detached reality. Appetite either nonexistent or voracious. Please contact me if you have had any experience like this. I am having the Mitena removed tomorrow. I just pray to return to normal. I am really losing all hope. I don’t even recognize my own life anymore. It’s like everyone is a stranger.

My daughter had a Mirena IUD and then had a strong psychotic episode. She was admitted to a psychiatric hospital 2 months after she had it inserted. There are many Class Action Lawsuits against this company. Contact Bernstein Liebhard law firm.

My BIGGEST issue with it is that every SINGLE month, a nurse at my psychiatrists office asks for my last period, and EVERY MONTH I tell them “I have the mirena IUD, my periods have completely stopped for over a year now.” Never ONCE did ANY of the literally tens of psychiatrists I went through, plus the emergency room physician who gave me emergency anxiety meds two different times, plus the half dozen general practice doctors I have seen at the hospital and elsewhere… over 25 DOCTORS and countless nurses in all… and not one of them ever thought to look into side effects of the only medication I was taking when my breakdown began it’s downward spiral.

Thanks so much for this we’re going through this right now and no one is listening to us. Our daughter went from an an excellent student to a college student with psychosis. We were unaware of this IUD even being installed and noted strange mood swings end of sophomore year but attibuted it to being a collegend student under normal stress. Then late Junior year had first psychotic incident,we found out that she had Mirena iud but psychiatrist assured us there was no relation. Now her senior year in college and she had an incident last week. Again we’re being told no relationship to the Mirena.

A doctor prescribed to wife for irregular periods and things went really bad. But doctors suggested, that was expected and will be fine! Our trust in medical institutions was very high back then. After quite a pain, suffering and ordeal we got it removed. Within a short period of time things went back to normal!
Doctors are the last ones in line who push these things to patents out of the list of medicines created by management with some senior doctors. Some of them are really dangerous with no safe track records but make a difference to their institutions bottom line. Covid revealed the true nature of the medical practice that no one should have absolute trust in medical stuff.

Wow, you too?

How is this possibly still on the market?

I don’t know it’s background, no woman should go through that pain.
