Hi Mr Fiend!
I am just guessing here that you are talkin abt Implanon or similiar implant.....but unfortunately as with most hormonal contraceptives the side effects vary from woman to woman....
some women get no side effects yet some get the whole kit and caboodle...it all has to do with our specific genetic makeup and body chemistry.....
I have seen women on Depo provera have complete personality changes. With that injection you have to live with the side effects for up to 3 months till the medication wears off....at least the good thing abt implanon implants is that if the side effects dont settle the implant can be removed, the hormones wear off after a few days and BINGO back to normal!!!! ( of course you will have to start the merry go round of finding another long term contraceptive), the mirena coil is very good i have seen very little problems with this as the hormone release is localised doesn't flood the whole body plus once put in it lasts several years....
my advice would be to tell mrs fiend to wait a bit longer it maybe just her body adjusting to the change in chemistry....if it still bothers her she should go back see her GP.....
in the meantime my dear friend you will just have to be patient!:happy4:
