"so far, i haven&#039;t had any problems with apri. at first my feet swelled a little bit, and i was kind of bloated but that all went sway after the first pack. i&#039;ve had nexplanon which was the worst birth control i could&#039;ve ever got. it cause so many health problems for me, mostly stomach problems. it made me lose a ton of weight, which wasn&#039;t very healthy for a 15 year old. i was on the depo shot, and that made my moods crazy. i have pretty bad anxiety already, and the shot pretty much made it worse. i don&#039;t take any medications for my anxiety, because i don&#039;t believe i need to but i had to with the depo shot. it made me gain about 15 pounds, so i&#039;m basically back to where i was 3 years ago before nexplanon. apri has been the best for me yet."
