"i had my nexplanon put in may of 2013 because i am horrible at taking the pill and did not have a good experience with the ring so i figured this might be the way to go. now i don&#039;t know if it really was. since being on this medication i have found that my anxiety level is much higher (which my anxiety is anger based) i go 2-3 weeks without a period then about 2-3 weeks on with a period (usually light but still annoying) and the biggest kicker is my weight gain. i am coming up on a year being on this and have gained a total of about 18lbs without much change in my diet. it is very frustrating and it makes me want to have it removed.
