Implanon Side Effects Report #SELF-6550

Female patient reported the following Implanon side effect(s):I am glad to read that others are experiencing the leg cramps (not glad you have them...but glad I\'m not alone) with the Implanon. It is not listed as a side effect with the drug information. I got the implant in March 2010 and have started having killer leg cramps some days since July 2010. Some nights they are so bad I cannot sleep. Other than that, I don\'t know that the other things are implanon side effects. I already suffer from PTSD and depression/anxiety, so the side effects fo those meds are loss of sex drive, sleep problems, etc. I have always suffered from fatigue and the past 16 years obesity. So I don\'t think any of those things can be contributed to the implanon. However, these leg cramps are awful! If they continue to become more frequent I will have to consider removal of the implant because I cannot take the pain. It is like those bad runners\' cramps that make your legs throb in pain.
