"i have never had a worse experience on a birth control before- but don&#039;t get me wrong, for some people this works! but for me, my moods were totally insane, completely up and down and i could not control my emotions. i felt constantly depressed and my sex drive basically disappeared. on top of that, i gained 15 pounds and could not lose it. i was the heaviest i&#039;ve ever been on this birth control. i really can&#039;t stress enough how much it affected me mentally though, it was intense and everyone around me had to go through my terrible mood swings and anger too. i personally could not recommend this to anyone because of the side affects i endured. i got the implant out 7 months later and lost the weight i had gained and started feeling better."
