A member asked:
Im thinking of changing from zoley to the merina however i have bipolar disorder so im concerned of the side effects. will it be safe to change?

Mirena: Neither oral contraceptives nor the Mirena IUD impact bipolar disorder. Both are effective methods. The Mirena IUD provides the convenience of not having to remember everyday to take a pill. It also has less hormone exposure and can give people light to absent periods.
