I used it once... have to think about how far back it was, but close to 20 years ago.
I had painful, painful cramps the whole rest of the night, but didn't dare take it out because I was terrified of getting pregnant.
Once I removed it, I felt vaguely gross/flu-like for about 24 hours.
And, of course, I didn't get pregnant, but shortly after that (within 5 years), they took it off the market.
That said, I wouldn't rule out user error. I put a hole through two of them before I got one put in correctly. I was young, I was very green.
