Birth Control
"Nexplanon = the worst mistake of my life. I had it inserted July 2014, removed April 2015, and I&#039;m still dealing with the side effects today - I&#039;m now being treated for painful cysts and debilitating cramps, and I&#039;m convinced this drug caused them. Side effects included: prolonged/heavy periods (lasting 3-4 weeks), anemia (due to periods), recurrent yeast infections (due to periods), painful vaginal fissures (due to yeast infections), lack of sex drive, constant bloating, rapid weight gain, increased appetite, acne, irritability, extreme mood swings, anxiety and depression (honestly, who wouldn&#039;t be depressed). If you are at all sensitive to hormonal birth control, I do not recommend this drug."
