The symptoms you listed --
The symptoms you listed -- dizziness, tender breast, nervous, skin inflammation -- are all possible side effects of Norplant. However, if you have had Norplant for 5 years, it is unlikely that you would just be having these problems now. The medicine has probably been all used up over the 5 years you have had the implants.
Something else is probably causing these symptoms. Could it be that you are pregnant? You should have a pregnancy test to find out for sure.
