birth control
"I had Nexplanon inserted 3 months ago. I've since had it removed and went back to the pill. To start, I had spotting for 3 wks and then it stopped. However, sex caused the spotting to return for wks. Spotting was the least of my worries as far as side effects. This implant caused great turmoil in my life - mental and physical. In 1 month, I felt irritable and anxious.  The highs/lows of my mood swings left me feeling like I was losing my mind. Insomnia kicked in and signs of depression emerged. I had no motivation or energy. I'm a runner and 2 months after insertion, I began experiencing headaches after a workout. I relied on Advil and sleep aides to deal. I had my doc take it out after 3 months. My life is back to normal now!"
