Mirena IUD and Ortho Evra have been linked to symptoms that include migraines, tinnitus (hissing, roaring, ringing or whooshing sound in the ears), vision loss, Nausea, vomiting or dizziness, loss of balance, and additional symptoms.

For individuals suffering from symptoms mimicking a brain tumor, such as headaches, nausea, vomiting and vision loss, with no signs of an actual tumor, it could be connected to Mirena IUD, Ortho Evra or Depo Provera or another type of hormonal birth control causing a rare but serious condition called pseudotumor cerebri, which occurs when the pressure inside your skull increases for no obvious reason.

Birth control allegedly contributes to the likelihood of acquiring the injury also commonly called idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Excess fluid in the brain can contribute to severe headaches, blurry vision or double vision, permanent blindness and other injuries.
