"i got nexplanon in july and haven&#039;t had a period or any kind of breakthrough bleeding since. no weight gain or loss. however i&#039;ve noticed a significant increase monthly of severe depression and anxiety. is the nexplanon the reason or life in general i&#039;m not sure. i was warned about the depression being a side effect. i&#039;ve even had  suicidal thoughts and am no longer social or interested in anything. again is it nexplanon or is it just the way things are going in my life? it&#039;s hard to tell. but i do love not having a period ever. see drive is 0....not good for the hubby. i feel extremely tense all the time. smiling has become a thing of the past. it&#039;s doing it&#039;s job but so is the no sex drive. i am considering removing it tho."
