Norplant is a well recognized cause of ideopathic intracranial hypertension a.k.a. pseudotumor cerebri. A condition that leads to blindness. Implanon has the same exact side effects. The FDA should be put out of business. Garbage in garbage out! I bet it's the same drug company as Norplant that is putting out Implanon to get back all the $$$ lost from the lawsuits in the Norplant civil action. Say "NO" to implanon! unless you would like to take medication for the rest of your life to keep from going blind!

I just had the Implanon place in April. I have had irrecgular spotting and just had what I thought was a period. I married two weeks ago and am fighting a second urinary tract infection (we were not sexually active prior to the wedding). Could this be related to Implanon?
