"i got this implant november 20 of 2016. at first my periods were irregular and had spotting in between, had lower back pain and mood swings/depression. my periods went away which is amazing but the depression has gotten worse and i now have cystic acne all along my chin, cheeks forehead, and all over my hairline. i&#039;ve dealt with acne all my life and i finally had it under control so this implant causing my skin to break out in painful cysts is a deal breaker. i am sad to get it removed because it is a convenience that i don&#039;t have to take a pill everyday, did not gain weight off of it and it took my periods away. but my skin is more important to me."
