"i am a teenager and i wanted a birth control that didn&#039;t cause weight gain, a daily reminding of taking a pill, no mood swings or acne. i thought implanon would suit me and i&#039;ve had it in my arm for 5 months now, and i&#039;m starting to understand and see the side effects. i never had acne, now i have it on my back and face. it&#039;s not mild. it&#039;s severe on back, to wear it&#039;s embarrassing. i am experiencing abnormal sadness. i am more aggressive towards my family and friends. my sex drive isn&#039;t as high as it used to be, which i guess isn&#039;t a bad thing for my age. my mood swings are terrible and its affecting my life."
