Hey. I have one too and I also suffer from depression and panic attacks but I have done since I was 14. And i got the implanon done last year. I don't suffer from mood swings or constant headaches though. You can't really get many side effects from the implanon. I would just go to the doctor and see whats going on and why. Don't worry too much about it.x

Headaches, depression, weight gain: all of those are possible side effects of implanon according to the health advice site "Go Ask Alice". You need to see a doctor about this. Probably the doctor will take you off implanon and see if the symptoms continue.
If you are having "mood swings" then that is very serious (even more serious than depression), and you need to talk to a doctor ASAP.

Hi, I had the same trouble when I had this too. I was like a totally different person so, I`ve changed over and now have the coil fitted and(touch-wood) I have had no problems. I don`t even have periods now.
Please go to your doctor very soon as this can REALLY affect every day of your life and it`s really not nice feeling that way.
Hope you get things sorted soon.
