Are Weight Gain And Depression Associated With Nexplanon?
Hey, I ve had the birth control implant (nexplanon) for almost 2 years and i was wondering how long does it take for your hormones to restore (considering these are synthetic). I ve been struggling with depression and weight gain since a week after being inserted.

Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Nexplanon causes Weight gain and depression.
It changes the normal level of hormones in the body. So these are the common side effects of Nexplanon..
I would advise you to get it removed out of your body and look for another safe alternative.
Get yourself checked with your practitioner.
Thanks
