"i had nexplanon put in june 2015. i love how effective it is as a birth control but i can&#039;t stand the side effects. i&#039;m so emotional, wanting to cry over such small things. i have only had small spotting which is nice but my anxiety levels are up and i do not sleep well. my acne is so bad! not so much my face but my arms and back! i keep very well hydrated and i exercise regularly, i&#039;m very healthy all around so i know it has to do with the implant. i am experiencing dizziness more lately and i&#039;m sad quite a bit. i will be looking for another form of birth control."
