Etonogestrel
"I'm 27. I have 2 kids under 3 years old. I got pregnant using the pill so I decided to try the nexplanon since I wouldn't have to worry about taking it. It had been effective as far as not getting pregnant BUT it has had horrible side effects for me. 1. Mood swings (I'm clinically bipolar and on mood stabilising medicine for that) it has HIGHLY agitated my moods. 2. Panic attacks/ anxiety. I've never had them until I had this put in. 3. Headaches. 4. NO sex drive. 5. Extreme fatigue. I literally had no motivation to do anything no matter how much rest I got. 6. Continuous spotting for 6 months. I though that these symptoms would eventually wear off as my body got used to he meds. Not the case for me. Had it removed today."
