A member asked:
Loss of clarity and alertness. always feel spacey/zoned out. always irritable. on mirena (levonorgestrel) iud, could birth control be the culprit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly doubt it: The tiny bit of systemic progestin from the Mirena (levonorgestrel) should hardly even be noticeable, but i guess stranger things have happened. Talk with your doc if you feel the Mirena (levonorgestrel) needs troubleshooting.
