In 2013 I started the nexaplan birth control. With in months of using it I stopped my period all together and did not get it for another year and a half. Once it was back it was not stopping. I had periods last a month straight before having 2-3 day breaks. The birth control was inserted into my arm and lasted 3 years. Since I changed employers I had switched insurance and the new insurance would not cover removal of a BC they didn't insert. My anxiety started to get really bad when the periods came back. I kept it in my mind that once the BC was running out things would go back to normal... 2016 in July the hormones should have stopped. My periods continued to be non stop and the anxiety turned to depression. My dr. knew I now was not looking to be sexual active I just wanted to be normal again. I decided to not use any kind of bc (I had lost all sex drive for the past 3 years) and hoped the bleeding and hormones would get better in time. 

I couldn't take the bleeding anymore, I was so tired and just felt awful. I returned to my dr. Early this month asking to do something. She put me on a new BC. Since starting my period has not happened yet (1 1/2 week into it) but now I am crying all the time. I declined my drs offer for an anti depressive but I am now second guessing my choice. I am now going to look into natural options before jumping in on getting a prescription.
