"i have been on nexplanon for the past two years. when i first got the implant, everything was going great until a month into it. my mood changed drastically due to the hormones and i wanted it out as soon as possible. i was told to wait a few months to get used to it so i abided by this. 4-6 months in, i started getting horrible acne, and i am now on two different prescriptions to (hopefully) get rid of it. the acne won&#039;t go away and my dermatologist said it won&#039;t until i get the implant taken out. fast forward to today, i have been continuously bleeding for three weeks, going on four, (have never bled on nexplanon before) and can&#039;t take it any longer. nexplanon was great, up until now and the other side effects."
