"i had bad side effects. i got nexplanon april 12th 2017 and removed it september 1st, although the numbing shot kind of hurt the actual implant did not. it was sore for a couple days. everyone is different but for me i started getting more ache, my mood was terrible. i felt angry all the time an almost violent. no period but had anxiety an depression worsen. i had depo b4 this an my libido was non existent, and intercourse hurt bad which in why i switched the nexplanon but those side effects didn&#039;t get any better either.."
