I m currently on implanon and i ve noticed that i can t sleep too long anymore. I work graveyard, so i sleep in the daytime and before i could get 8hrs of sleep but now i m only 3hrs max before i feel i have to wake up. I feel very energetic and awake until my shift starts and i get tired. This never used to happen before, I m pretty used to my shift now, could this be because of Implanon?
Implanon may cause insomnia which is one of the common side effect but it is very common in females.could you please specify your gender...As it is not much common in men..The reason could be due to depression as it one of the commonest side effect. In depression, insomnia and difficulty in falling asleep or maintenance of sleep is the key feature in its criteria.i would suggest you drugs like escitalopram and clonazepam to get better from depression if any and insomnia respectively. It's better to consult your gynaecologist regarding the continuation of implanon
