"i have only had the implanon for 4 weeks and am going in today to have it removed. i chose this because its an &quot;out of sight out of mind&quot; easier birth control. but the side effects for me have been horrendous. i have had severe anxiety, mood swings, and depression. and instead of little issues rolling right off my shoulders it feels as though its the end of the world. i&#039;ve never struggled with this before. i&#039;ve also had literal thoughts of suicide and self harm. also, caused my sex drive to become pretty much non-existent. coming from a woman who has been with the same man for 12 years and could have sex 3x per day. i started having no sex drive and had very dry vagina."
