A member asked:
I've heard about mirena (levonorgestrel) crash now i'm worried to have mine taken out so does it cause worse anxiety or depression etc or worse symptoms ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not: There is not scientific evidence to support the IUD that Mirena (levonorgestrel) removal would lead to psychiatric symptoms. The Progesterone level of Mirena (levonorgestrel) is very low and typically only has a local effect on the endometrial lining
