Can Implanon Cause Extreme Fatigue?
For over a month I have been consistently dizzy, lightheaded, weak, shaky, and extremely fatigued. And when I say consistently, I mean EVERY day from 10amish to 7pmish. It almost feels like a blood sugar issue, like I haven t eaten in a long time, but even when I do eat, it doesn t help at all. I had blood work done last week and everything was normal. These symptoms all started two weeks after I had the Implanon birth control implant put in. I am EXTREMELY frustrated because I feel horrible EVERY day and it makes getting work done much, much harder than it needs to be. What are the chances that it is the Implanon causing this?

Hi
Dizziness or fatigue can occur with the use of implanon and the symptoms may reduce in the subsequent cycles.
Blood pressure may also be rised with the implant,which should also be monitored.
Incase of any persisting,severe symptoms,consult with your doctor and also check whether the implant has displaced or broken.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
