"i&#039;m writing this because i feel like i had a weird experience with this bc. i used nexplanon for 1 year and 7 months before cutting it out.
1st year and 2mos w/ nexplanon: 24yo female, perfect skin; absolutely no blemishes, let alone acne, ever, highly motivated, bodybuilder/overall healthy lifestyle, no periods or negative side effects

after 1y3mos with nexplanon: mood swings, overnight cystic bacne from my neck to my hips, craving fatty/sugary foods all the time, no motivation, weight gain. tried spironolactone with a rx body wash and cream, but it didn&#039;t help the acne at all.

almost 2months after removing nexplanon: no depression/mood swings, motivated again, no more cravings, bacne almost entirely cleared up, feeling like myself!"
