"i&#039;ve had nexplanon for two years now. insertion was easy. i noticed some queasiness for a few months after, but anti-nausea wristbands helped. other than that the first year was fine. i had occasional periods which lasted about as long as usual. my sex drive decreased, but not too badly. the second year, i&#039;ve had two two-week long periods. my acne has returned. my sex drive has decreased to zero. worst of all, i have pretty bad depression. i&#039;m easily irritatable and will freak out over small things. i&#039;ve never had depression before. i thought it was culture shock (i live in japan) until i read an article linking birth control with depression. now i&#039;m pretty sure it&#039;s that. if i could, i would get it out to see if my depression lessens."
