Hormonal IUD vs copper IUD: which one would you recommend?

Hi ladies! It’s been a while….

So I haven’t been on birth control in a few years but I recently started dating someone so I need to get something effective. My experience with bc pills is they cause me severe anxiety and kill my sex drive. I’m thinking my only decent options are hormonal iud or copper iud. I had mirena in the past, after my second child was born so I was also breastfeeding. I had severe anxiety, cramps, headaches and no sex drive during the 8 months I had it in so I had it removed and those symptoms went away. I’m afraid to get a hormonal iud again but I’m wondering if the symptoms were made worse bc I was breastfeeding. It would be really nice to not have a period. Has anyone had both types of IUD and recommend one over the other? I’m concerned about the heavy periods I’ve heard about with the copper iud but I also don’t want to lose my sex drive and have panic attacks daily… help!

Copper IUD here and no heavy periods,at all. I love it. Only thing is period "drags". I have 2 light days, 3 regular days and 1 or 2 days of spotting again at the end. That is the only con

I had 2 types of hormonal iud and the copper one. My body rejects artificial hormones so I bled for months with both hormonal ones (happens with the pill too). Plus my lose dose one (Kylena) actually fell out and I got pregnant with my youngest. The copper one made me hemorrhage every month to the point of severe anemia and scheduling monthly infusions before I demanded it be removed.
