Birth Control
"I had the Implanon inserted in Dec 2009.  I loved it until recently, and I still recommend it over the IUD.  But now my side effects are to great for my body and mind to handle.  Since I got it I have had maybe 5 periods but this year I have had 2 and they were regular and right on time.  I suffer from horrible PMS symptoms and I got them all the last two months. Since November of last year I have become horribly depressed and my anxiety is through the roof. I believe that all my &quot;issues&quot; are side effects of this birth control, and I think that the reduction in hormones released is probably the cause.  I am getting it removed ASAP, but still think that this could work for some or for a shorter 2 year window verses the 3 year they say."
