"i&#039;ve had the implant in since late october this year (2015). adverse effects: i&#039;ve been losing a lot of hair, my appetite has been jacked up off and on, have been more anxious, easily angered, some things make me more sad/upset than usual (i typically do not cry, get too emotional or feel very empathetic), i&#039;ve been getting mild headaches (i generally never get headaches), and overall i&#039;ve been having internal wars to control my emotions. i&#039;m not sure if it will level out or get worse. i had one period since i&#039;ve had the implant and it didn&#039;t last longer than a week but the bleeding was heavier than usual. no cramps though. i&#039;m feeling iffy about it. i was a psycho b. on the depo shot and was hoping/am hoping this would be better than that."
