Hello I’m 35 years old and have 3 children. Due to high risk and premature deliveries, my OB and I agreed that 3rd baby was the last. Due to her arriving 2 months early I didn’t get to sign or discuss the possibility of cutting and burning my tubes. My daughter was born in 12/2011. January 2012 my OB explained about Essure and since I found it to be an easy procedure and wouldn’t leave my preemie for long hours, I got it done. Now 2 years later I started getting episodes of depression anxiety and panic attacks. I have gone to see doctors so they could tell me what is causing this and they all tell me it’s either hormonal or simply I’m just depressed. I’ve been put on antidepressants medication and have been taking it for a year now. I’m not getting any better, I always feel so tired, no energy, heavy periods, depressed and just hopeless. After reading about Essure and the stories of other women, I am 100% sure that Essure is causing all these symptoms. I should of read this before. Now I feel stuck and don’t know how to resolve my problem. I just want to be normal again. A happy person. This depression is breaking me!
