Brief Answer:
Replace the implanon

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You are experiencing normal periods symptoms. It is not much related to duromine intake since you have been taking it for last two days.
While on implanon periods may be rare or absent but this doesn't mean you will not have period.
You have been keeping implanon for four years and it's effects lasts only three years. Maybe it's protection abilities are finished and this may be a reason that you are having a period now.
So you can use condoms and go to doctor to replace it.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I replaced the implanon 6 months ago, sorry I meant I have been using it as contraception for the past 4 years

Brief Answer:
It may get worse by duromine.

Detailed Answer:
OK, sorry for misunderstanding it.
I don't think this blood discharge comes directly by use of duromine since you had a week with these premenstrual symptoms.
It may get worse by duromine usage because it increases metabolism and also rises blood pressure.
I think you have to stop duromine.
Also consult the doctor who prescribed it to you.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards.
