| 1 | Birth Control and my mother made me | Intense crying, constipation/diarrhea, I get mad easily at things my boyfriend says, depression. Breast tenderness. I was only put on this because I told my mother that my boyfriend had been watching women giving birth online so he couls prepare himself if the worst were to happen. She had previously taken the shot and experienced things alot differently. But as I told her, everyone is different when it comes to taking this drug. Its only been several days since ive had the shot and im already ready to get off of it. The only problem is, my mom wont let me get off of it. Im stuck with this birth control until im 18. Im also gonna say that I started my period the day I got this shot and have been bleeding non stop for about a week now. I dont usually have a heavy period. In fact, I have one of the lightest periods. My boyfriend thinks all of this is funny, which doesnt help my situation. Ive been stuck on the toilet having diareha since 1:00 am, its now 2:35 am. | F | 16 | 1 days | 5/26/2012 | 1 | to prevent second pregnancy | craziness mood swings depression anxiety hopeless loss of energy loss of sex drive. Its ruining my relationship. Took it from 11.5.11 did not get dose on 8.3.11 then finally felt like myself didnt realize it was the shot causing everything but got shot on 9.11.12 week later all the mood swings depression over re acting was back. I will NOT BE getting another shot come 12.11.12 i will just make sure my boyfriend/father of my daughter just dont nut in me. Thanks for screwing my life up with this depo shot. | F | 16 | 1 years | 10/1/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Anxiety, didn't feel like myself, major depression, irritable, emotional, scattered thoughts, suicidal thoughts, period for 1 month straight, constant spotting, mood swings, phycotic and more... I was a mess do NOT take it | F | 16 | 3 months | 12/3/2012 | 1 | pills hard remember bad Pms preg. | Not sure on pregnancy yet...but bloating, increased appetite, nausea, fainting, spotted twice in a week last month, lightheaded, diarrhea, headaches, BOOBS HURT EXTREMELY, EXTREME fatigue, restlessness, mood swings, depression, irritability, Obsessiveness, stuttering, memory and concentration problems, laziness, chest pains, increased asthma attacks | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. No matter what! The doctor said oh you'll get your period back after a month or so and didn't give me an info packet. She told me how happy her patients are on depo. I think its a load of crap. I've taken this injection once and truly believe I am pregnant. I've had pregnancy symptoms for about a month and a week or so. i haven't gained weight yet *knock on wood* and am very worried about it. I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. it really should be taken off the market. I don't know how many i have heard from who are unhappy with it. it needs to be recalled and looked over. Then changes should be made. Also, my guardian is trying to force me to take it so that i will NEVER have children and be more submissive to her when i am depressed. | F | 16 | 1 times | 6/22/2006 | 1 | birth control | fatigue, over eating, 50 lbs weight gain, headaches, cramps, no period, no lubrication, increased acne, blurred vision, mood swings, depression. | i was on the depo shot for 1 year. i recently stopped taking it and last month i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. i do not know for sure if the two are related but i was perfectly healthy before the shot and now i have a life long disease. i would not recommend the shot because there is nothing really known about it. when i was administered the shot, they did not tell me the side affects or ask me afterwards if i was experiencing anything out of the norm. when i told them yes, they said oh that is normal. i researched and many women who have takin the shot have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. take my opinion as you will, but i am 16 and now i have to face a life time of pain. | F | 16 | 1 years | 4/20/2007 | 1 | Birth control | Headaches, back pains, light headed always upset & moody , always tired And i have an Odor & discharge wich i never had that before the shot. (NOT GOOD AT ALL) Do your research first !!!!!! | F | 16 | 1 years not sure | 8/10/2013 | 1 | endometriosis | irritability, headaches, back pain, cramps, vaginal discharge, weight gain, depression, panic attacks, crying for no reason, fatigue, mood swings | I've been on the shot for about two years for Endometriosis, but the side effects were terrible. The mood swings were what pushed my friends away, I would get so pissed off at someone, then be so sweet. The cry was bad too, I would just all of a sudden start crying. I hated the weight gain, I gained about 60 lbs. over the course of two years. I had panic attacks where I would just start freaking out and even start to cry. Also, no matter how long I sleep, I feel like I could sleep more. I defintely have had depression, along with increased thoughts of suicide. If you are taking this shot, stop immediately. Stopped taking it? Good! Thinking about taking it? DON"T!!!!!!!!!!!! Would NOT recommend this to ANYONE!! | F | 16 | 2 years 1X M | 4/3/2011 | 1 | birth control | nausea,mood swings,stomach pain, horrible cramps,no sex drive,horrible migranes,blurred vision due to the migraines, | i swear this shot is going to kill me i got it on the first day of my period and im still on it!ITS been 3 WEEKS im 16 this is really messing with my life im sick all the time my stomach hurts all the time i cry over nothing my headaches are causing me to not focuse on my school work they are so bad i can barely see when i have headache which has been hmm every 20 min for 3 weeks asprin caffine does nothing anymore i got to sleep 4 hours earlier than i used to and i feel like i only got 5 mins of sleep im so depressed and thats not good for me :( | F | 16 | 1 months one shot 1X M | 3/19/2010 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | Made my life a living hell. At the age of 16 i was close to losing the roof over my head lost my friends and family .I would have severe mood swings, throwing things being mean to others, not thinking clearly, and eating all the time .I have said such mean, rude crude, things to my mother that our relationship is nothing ,my boyfriend is annoyed with me, dont know how much more he will tolerate my mood swings. he is all ive got left since ive said and done such horrible things to others. I hope in Jan the effects have warn off .hopefully i can repair what ive done. The makers of this drug should be hung. | Did you know they use depo as a sterilization method for sex offenders. anyone know of any natural cures to reverse the side effects of this medication or something that would help . Doctor wanted to put me on deppression meds. which i feel why would i do that for something you didnt tell me about. | F | 16 | 90 days 2X O | 11/17/2010 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention AGAINST MY WIL | 6 week period, extreme constant nausea, migraines, and intense headaches, I really just never feel good. I am EXTREMEMY irritable, and I get mad over nothing really. Pretty much, everyone will have the same lousy, terrible side effects. | My mom took me to the doctor for a blood test to find out if I was pregnant or not, and the results mysteriously never came back. A week or so later, she took me in to get the depo shot without knowing the results of my pregnancy test. I was against getting this shot. A day after I got the shot I noticed immediate side effects, and I was miserable. When I asked her if she had given me an involuntary abortion, she called and said oh, your results are back and they are negative. Which personally, I think Is a lie. Either way, this shot should be outlawed in all 50 states. It has been black box labeled by the FDA, which means it can cause potential life threatening risks. The shot is painful to your body, causes through the roof irregularities, gives you un necessary aches and pains when you can get on Mirena or the pill and have no side effects.
