Specializes in Pharmacology

Work w/ MD on a plan: Change in mood is one of the side effects of levonorgestrel. There are a couple of treatment considerations, including possible removal of the implant, but all are going to involve working closely with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and determine the best treatment options.
