"this medication is very effective! but it is literally the worst ever!!!!! i want to share my story in hopes that it will prevent women from trying this... i&#039;m ten days post nexplanon today and i&#039;m feeling so much more like myself then i have in months. i&#039;m not quite 100% yet. it all started two months ago when my period began i just woke up different. my anxiety was severe and i had begun feeling extreme sadness and depression. my period lasted a month and then when it started again in january the symptoms came back magnified by ten. i thought i was going mad! i lost my appetite and i&#039;m still dealing with being unable to eat. for a while there i couldn&#039;t sleep. but everyday it seems to be getting better. i&#039;m starting to smile!!"
