Anxiety from hormonal changes

I don't know how much of mine is stress from getting ready to move states or from getting on and off birth control.

I was put on the Mirena IUD to help with my endometriosis and it was great for the first month and a half, but I had to get it out after 3 months because I was getting increasing panic attacks and palpitations. I also ended up losing 11lbs in 3 months from nausea. I got it taken out about a month ago and the panic attacks have been happening all week. I ended up at the ER one day and had an EKG which proved to be normal. My PCP put me on Lexapro and that's helping a little bit. I also see a therapist on Tuesday to share my issues.

Has anyone else had these kind of issues from hormonal birth control?

Do you have PCOS, if so that could be the underlying cause. Also, I would like to know your daily nutritional diet. You could DM me to discuss further
