The IUD hormones act locally instead of systemically so typically it shouldn’t have the same emotional effect. I personally did not like the Mirena because I found that I was in more pain due to the device itself. I don’t think that my experience is the typical one, though, I think that most of the time people really like the Mirena. If you do get it, ask them about taking ibuprofen before your insertion appt.
