"i started nexplanon july 2014. i&#039;m not myself at all, my mood has changed, and my body has changed physically. i have gained a total of 50 lbs while on nexplanon. this birth control takes over your entire body and mind, i can eat an entire dinner (red lobster ultimate feast), and want more food after. i never feel satisfied after eating, and i constantly crave food items i never did before. in addition, my mood is different i feel depression, extreme anxiety, and have an attitude. while on nexplanon i have had my period 3 times and each time was actually great! crazy to admit but i miss having my period because i felt normal knowing my emotions were rational and placed on menstrual cycle. now, without my period i have begun to feel crazy."
