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.
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 Dr. Tripat Mehta
