Does Dexamphetamine Affect The Effectiveness Of Contraceptive Implants?

Hi, I am a 19 year old girl and considering different types of birth control. I can t have the injections due to a history of depression, but I am open to other hormonal methods. My one issue is that I am on dexamphetamine, 10 mg daily. Will this affect the effectiveness of options such as contraceptive implants in my arm or hormonal IUDs?
