| 3 | Contraception | It works! Just always feel sick have headache only come on for around 2 days when I'm due my shot.. Always bloated feel fat put on weight :( | F | 17 | 1 years | 1/15/2012 | 3 | So I don't become a momma too young | I have a little dizziness and vaginal dryness. Unfortunately my doctor did not warn me of that and I had no clue til it was to late and became an issue for awhile. Before you switch to Depo look up, ALL the possible side effects. Because I ended up with one of the less common ones and was in pain. It is somewhat satisfying for me though. I don't have to remember it everyday. My family helps me from eating so much to gain weight. I control my hunger. I do at times worry about the depression part. | F | 17 | 2 months | 1/6/2012 | 3 | prevent pregnancy | i get really bad headaches. ive had my period for a little over a month. (2 weeks after i got the shot, i got my period). im always exhausted. i can't concentrate in school. i get dizzy alot. im loseing color in my face, even though im white, i look like a ghost now. i have a lump from the shot, which i dont know whether thats normal or not because it wont go away and it hurts.. bad mood swings, irritated easily. it was putting me in depression where i just wanted to die at one point. | the only good thing i think its done, was make my breast go from a b to a full c. | F | 17 | 2 months 1X O | 12/4/2011 | 3 | contraceptiom | no period whilst i was on it. then came off it had a period, then unprotected sex, then nothing. now i could be pregnant, yet all tests show negative. HELP! | F | 17 | 6 months 1X day | 1/17/2012 | 3 | Birth Control\ problems with period | None so far. | THANKS FOR SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ME FOR MY FIRST TIME TAKING THIS MEDICINE! I JUST HAD THE SHOT DONE AND NOW THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO! SO THANKS FOR TERRIFYING ME! | F | 17 | 1 days 1X day | 5/19/2011 | 3 | Birth Control & Period | No weight gain, No mood swings, nothing except weird periods. | Started it at the age of 15 and I am now 17. I had my period for 2 months straight when I first got on the shot. After that I only had it very lightly at the end of the 3 months. I have now been on it for 2 years and just recently started getting a heavy period for about 2 weeks now. I am still on the shot but if i continue to have this weird heavy menstruation I will need to get off of it. It will go away for like a day and then come back pretty heavy and it isn't normal period blood. It is thinner and really red like when you get a paper cut...! Up until now it has been good for me. I also got my period during sporting events but that is probably because the shot makes your uterine wall thinner and weaker.... | F | 17 | 2 years 1X day | 7/6/2011 | 3 | endo | if you are gaining weight, take an anti-depressant like lexapro. it will give you seratonin again so you won't be ravenous. | F | 17 | 1 years | 8/9/2006 | 2 | Birth Control/Stop Period. | Constant heavy bleeding, horrible acne, headaches, back pain, depression, BDD, low immune system and no sex drive. | I had normal periods and clear skin before I started. I was happy and had a high sex drive. I am so unhappy now and will never be taking this again. I wish I were one of the lucky people who it worked for. | F | 17 | 2 months | 5/10/2006 | 2 | to gain weight | i had 2 weeks of bleeeding and then some spotting. | the only reason why i went on it was to gain weight and i havent gain anything which really sucks because i heard all these stories of weight gain on it. it doesnt look like im going to gain anything. | F | 17 | 7 weeks | 11/16/2004 | 2 | Severe cramping and contraceptive | About a week after i got it i started breaking out extremely bad. It made me depressed. it made me extremely moody. it made me have anxiety. it changed my apetite. it made me so bloated around my stomach! so it made my stomach huge, and a bit of weight gain it made lose my period two months,but then it made me spot for almost 30 days. yes, a period that lasted a month. once you have it, theres nothing you can do but wait till it's gone. | the cons overpower the pros. just made me so moody and constantly break out. i would not recommend this. | F | 17 | 3 months 1 XD 1X M | 9/26/2011 | 2 | prevent pregnancy | feeling depressed , crying all the time for no reason, flipping out at my boyfriend and others ,getting angrier than usual at small things, thoughts of suicide and harming self ..just over-emotional.

I've had panic attacks, been through depression, I've had stomach problems (diarrhea almost every day). Super moody all the time. Always tired. Haven't had period in 6 months though, so that's a plus. Other than that, not even worth it.

I have horrible depress episodes, my anxiety has gotten out of control i have a horrible time sleeping, and i have sevre cramps when im aroused along with random cramps so bad i drop to the floor. My parents forced me to take the shot and didnt even talk to me about it or if i even wanted to try the pill or bar, and wont lwt me consider anything else now still. As soon as im out of the house im never taking an other shot in my life, i have enough health issues as is and i dont need the threat of epilepsy or blood clotting knocking at my door anytime soon.
