"i had implanon placed in october 2010. placement was a breeze, i had headaches and mood swings for about 2 weeks after placement, acne breakouts for about 6 months, light periods, but no other side effects. i took oracea for 2 months and that took care of the acne, it has not returned. otherwise, absolutely no other side effects and no periods now. i was slightly overweight, so i decided to do something about it. i was worried implanon would make weight loss difficult but i actually dropped the weight without any difficulty. i would recommend implanon to anyone!"
