Birth Control
"I discourage anyone who has suffered from depression from using this product. Originally I chose Implanon to substitute my inability to regularly take the pill.  In the first month, my breasts jumped a cup size, my skin suffered marginally, sex drive was still strong and weight gain was not an issue.  However after 3 months I noticed that I was continually feeling down.  I was lethargic, unmotivated, crying unpredictably, and had thoughts of suicide (8 occasions).  I have previously been diagnosed as manic depressive, and thus strongly recommend if you are considering this contraceptive form, PLEASE discuss Implanon and mental health with your doctor (AND if they are dismissive, find another doctor)."
