"this is the worst birth control i have ever been on! i am 31 years old and recently had the nexplanon removed. big mistake!!! i never write reviews but this birth control is the devil!! while on the nexplanon i never had cramps, bloating, breast tenderness, or horrible mood swings. glidess i have all these symptoms plus paranoia, and depression. i have been taking these pills for a month and half and never have felt more insecure in my life. the weight gain is an issue as well, i gained 12 pounds within the 1st month. i realized that this birth control was making me feel crazy, anxious  and not myself so i made an app.t for my obgyn for a better option. i cant wait to throw these pills down the drain. hope this is helpful."
