Nexplanon making me crazy: going onto the pill

3 replies

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and how they now feel if they've started on the mini pill.
I'm currently on my 2nd implant (nexplanon) had my first in for 3 years and this one for just over 1 year! I feel it's turning me crazy, I keep getting so angry at every little thing, keep crying and never felt so low about myself in my life! I've never lacked confidence this much or hated my appearance so much.
I've decided to get my implant out this week via my local sexual health clinic, and asked them to start me on the mini pill- just awaiting my appointment Wednesday!
Did anyone feel the same/ how did you feel once it was out & if you started the pill did this help?

Thank you 😊

I think it's not uncommon to have problems with implants (there were big long threads about it when this topic was new)

The main thing with the minipill is that you have to remember to take it (and use back up if you ever have an upset tummy) Have you been on a pill before?

I had mine out almost 2w ago now; and honestly, I already feel so much better!

Yeah I've tried the pill before the implant- hoping it gets my mental state back to where it was before this 2nd implant
