Is Nexplanon Safe As A Contraceptive While Having Depression?
I am about to get Nexplanon,the birth control, I decided to read and saw all these side affect``s. I am a smoker and I struggle with depression,I am 21 years old and have twins with my husband and we don t want more kids, this seems to be the most effective method of birth control but now I am stressed.would you suggest nexplanon or something else, I don t want a common weight gainer, or a pill and it needs to stop ovulation due to cysts, it feels like nexplanon is my only option

Hi,
Yes, Nexplanon is contraindicated in depression. Nexplanon is likely to cause depression as a side effect, which may increase the symptoms of already existing depression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
