Nexplanon implant

I used nexplanon in the past for 3 years straight, thought it was great, periods stopped, very effective at stopping pregnancy. However, this time around after getting a new boyfriend I decided to go back on it. The whole reason I got it again was because I had a high sex drive and same with my partner so we were going at it 5 times a day.. but now I have NO sex drive at all. I bled for months with no end and only recently at the 10 month mark did my periods go back to normal finally. But now I'm seeing weight gain, extremely tender breasts to where I wont let my boyfriend touch them anymore, and horrific cramps during sex. My anxiety just wont go away these days and I'm getting heart palpitations now. The moods swings were pretty bad the first 8 or so months. I'm ready to rip this thing out personally.
