Implanon and birth control

I had Implanon inserted on Feb. 08. I just had it removed about 1 month ago (Jun. 09). This was the WORST birth control experience i have EVER had. I gained over 60 lbs. over a year's time, I was eating less and working out normally, i still kept gaining weight. I would be on my period for months at at time, although i never had any cramps, i developed anemia. I was the worst person to be around, I was always irritated and had lots of trouble sleeping. Occasionally, I would have terrible muscle pains in both arms, felt like loss of circulation. I was always tired and very depressed. I hope anyone who is considering this birth control to reconsider other options. After i had it removed my body went haywire! My red blood cell counts spiked and developed shingles(I am only 22)! Not only that i had the MOST painful period of my life, cramps so bad i had to be put on pain meds! My body is finally getting back to normal, and I feel like a whole new person!!!!!
