"after taking the pill for 3 years i had to switch to a new form of birth control. my gyno highly suggested i try nexplanon and i wish i never did. i had it for a little over a month and i had so many side affects. i was nonstop spotting, had inflammation down there 3 different times, and the worst mood swings. i was constantly either extremely depressed or really angry. to the point where i truly feared i was going to hurt someone. i finally got it removed today, very quick but painful once the numbing goes away. i&#039;m looking forward to being my normal self again. i would not recommend this to anyone.
