Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes High Bp, Depression And Anxiety After Having Mirena?
I had my Mirena placed in January and since then, have been having extremely high blood pressure 165/110, depression and anxiety. Is there a chance this could have been caused by the Mirena? I am currently on 200mg of labetalol and 20mg of prozac. Neither of which seem to be helping much and my blood pressure spikes almost daily. Thanks.
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Mirena (levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device) is a form of birth control that is indicated for intrauterine contraception for up to 5 years and for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding in women. Mirena is a hormone-releasing system placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for up to 5 years.
The problems you are mentioning may not be the side effects of mirena alone. I think it is due to anxiety and stress. May be PTSD. Associated with the stressful situations around January. Rewind and find out. Another possibility is (you did not give your age though, so assuming) menopause. Anxiety and depression are possible in that instance. The medicines should help you along with psychotherapy. I shall help you in that matter.
Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
