Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Nexplanon is a hormonal drug and it is very common for this drug to have anxiety issues. Now that this drug has been withdrawn from your system, it may take 1-2weeks for the effect to wean off. If it is not sever you may just wait for them to go off. However if the symptoms are severe then you may have to take clonazepam or propranolol to reduce the anxiety for a while. It is not permanent and the symptoms will settle down by self.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
