I've had the implanon for 6 months now and JUST NOW started having really bad side affects. Always had a little moodiness but now I'm gaining weight, feeling nauseous, bad headaches, etc... Will they go away? I already scheduled to get it taken out because they're so bad but if I know they will go away sooner or later I will tough it out. Anyone else have the same experience?

I will probably take it out and try the Paraguard. However, I've been on the birth control pill for almost 8 years. Will getting rid of artificial hormones completely mess up my system?
