"do not recommend at all. i got the nexplanon when i was 18 and i&#039;m almost 21 now. while it is great bc for keeping you unpregnant, i have not one ounce of motivation to get out of bed and do anything, i am always so tired, the acne is insane and i have spots all over my shoulders, chest, face that looks like a rash and is extremely noticeably (especially fresh out of the shower or when hot) &amp; the weight gain is crazy. i was about 110 pounds when i got out on it and i always had an extremely high metabolism but after being on nexplanon i have a constant hunger that i cannot fill and i am up to 140 pounds. i am very easily angered and moody and over all it is not worth it when t comes to being happy in your own skin. getting removed this week"
