"i was on nexplanon for eight months. it was the fourth form of birth control that i had tried because my body refuses to work with the birth control and i had very irregular and frequent periods. the nexplanon was only good for three things, helping my acne, protecting against pregnancy, and not having to take a pill every night. other than that i got all the symptoms. i was tired, emotional, and angry all the time to the point i was always in bed so it affected my performance in school. however, my body doesn&#039;t react well to any birth control. i&#039;ve now had it taken out for a week and feel so much better."
