Does Implanon increase cortisol levels and if so how significant is it?

I have had implanon for approximately 5 years and have enjoyed no periods or pain and very little if any significant mood swings however I continue to struggle with weight gain. Could you explain to me the significance of implanon to increase cortisol levels?

I don't believe implanon has any direct effect on cortisol levels, but it is not a medication I prescribe in my psychiatric practice, so you may want to ask elsewhere. It is a hormone, but not part of the adrenal cortisol axis...re weight gain, is is mentioned as a side effect but good weight control should be enough unless you are an emotional eater. If that is the case, then go to my website for more advice and help...www. shrinkyourself.com
