Implant

Hello, I got the implant in last July and since then I have pretty much gone downhill. I have had excessive mood swings, lashing out at my partner for no reason; and it's got to the point where our relationship is now on the edge as I just snap at everything, I completely lost my sex drive and am constantly
Depressed. I now get to the point where j cry so much that I struggle to breathe and get very angry but can't explain to anyone what is that matter. I have no energy what so ever I struggle with daily
Life, despite the fact I sleep loads. When I spoke to the doctor she said the implant doesn't cause any of this but looking up all the comments I can see it's not only me who's been affected like this. It got to the point where I actually considered taking my own life as I feel I physically can't cope with life anymore. I got the implant out last Monday and was wondering has anyone else experienced this? And how long did it take to get back to yourslef?

I don't have experience with an implant. However, I did have a a cortisone injection in my knee and for 1-2 weeks I was completely depressed. I suffer from schizoaffective disorder (schizophrenia and depression). It made my depression worse for quite some time. I decided I won't be doing those injections anymore. Maybe this implant can be having the same effect. If the doctor you see now wont answer your questions or take you seriously you need to find someone else.
