"i got this inserted in november of 2014. i have no periods at all which is the only thing i like about it. the first year i ignored signs of the side effects. i never had any mood swings etc before nexplanon. i had no idea this little stick in my arm could cause anything wrong. after it was brought to my attention the side effects of nexplanon i am getting it removed tomorrow. since i had it put in, i lost a ton of hair, so much i just cut 9 inches off just to not feel so embarrassed. gained 25 lbs that i cannot lose even if i starve myself, anxiety out the roof, sometimes it&#039;s so bad i have to force myself to stay at work, mood swings, and brain fog, omg the brain fog makes me feel psychotic. i do not recommend anyone get this evil stick."
