"i&#039;ve had nexplanon since march 2014. at first i was so so so happy with it. it was so easy and i had no periods for awhile. after about three months with it in i started to get depressed and have anxiety attacks 24/7. i&#039;m constantly hyperventilating. i couldn&#039;t figure out why it was happening until i did research on my birth control yesterday. i thought i was going crazy. my anxiety is so bad that it has caused 24/7 depersonalization. i don&#039;t feel like myself anymore and my acne is cystic and doesn&#039;t go away with any kind of face wash -even with prescribed face wash. i have my period 2 weeks to 3 weeks out of each month, which is irritating when you are in a serious relationship. so i made an appointment to have it removed, fingers crossed."
