IT REALLY MAKES ME HUNGRY & I FEEL PREGNANT BUT IM NOT ! I GET SHARP PAINS IN MY STOMACH I REALLY WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BUT I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP ME ! I FEEL SICK AS OF RIGHT NOW , IM ALWAYS STRESSING ON THIS DEPO ! I STOP TAKING DEPO IN JANUARY I STOP BLEEDING BUT NOW ITS A YELLOW DISCHARGE ! WHEN DOES THIS DEPO SHIT STOP I JUST WANT MY BODY BACK . | F | 17 | 6 months 6 MONTHS | 2/24/2014 | 2 | regulate periods | I wish I would have read reviews before getting the shot. I've gotten it twice so far and each time I have bled for the entire first month. Face has broken out more than it ever has in my entire life, I get nauseous all the time and my sex drive has completely left. I am always tired and my energy is gone. I've also noticed that at the times of the month when I should be getting my period, I still experience cramping, mood swings and dizziness just without the actual "release". After reading the reviews from everyone, I'm not planning on getting a 3rd shot. | F | 30 | 6 months | 2/20/2014 | 1 | Birth control pills made me ill | LADIES PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS POISON!!! I had my first injection in 1997. I of all people was a depo advocate. I loved that I no longer had severe periods with pain and cramps. I had no idea that I was injecting my body with poison every 3 months. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia due to severe joint and muscle pain. I now have gastroparesis which means my digestive system no longer functions. I have headaches, heart palpatations, shortness of breath, hair loss and gained over 60 pounds the last 15 years. My last injection was May 2013. For the past year I have had severe nausea, vomiting and constipation. Due to this, I have lost 40 of those pounds but in the most unhealthy way. My appetitie has just begun to return but slowly. I never associated any of these issues with depo until this year. Most of the damage is irreversible and no one ever told me that this drug had a black box warning from the FDA. I pray that others will take this to heart and not put | F | 37 | 16 years 30 mg 1X O | 2/19/2014 | 5 | horrible cramps and lengthy periods | The first shot cause some serious cramping, but by the time I went in for my second one I was fine. My doctor warned me that with this shot you could gain weight because it holds your water weight. So I started drinking 12 oz of water a day and I work out three times a week. Unlike most people I am losing weight on this shot! It is possible not to gain weight, just drink tons of water because it keeps you from over indulging in food and from holding on the water weight!: ) | F | 27 | 5 years | 2/15/2014 | 1 | To stop me from getting pregnant | Hormonal, paranoia, pains in tummy, itchey, sickness, feeling faint very stressy crying , | F | 28 | 3 months | 2/14/2014 | 1 | Birthcontrol | I have had most of the side effects listed online for the drug. The worst has been the itching all over and the break outs around my bottom. I have suffered some anxiety and depression. I have been to my doctor twice about the rash. First she thought it was foliculitus and then staph. Just frustrating because I know it's from the shot. I tried antibiotic and fungal creams that my doctor prescribed. Did not make a difference at all. I can't wait for this to be out of my system. I took a allergy pill today and going to continue it for week to see if it helps. I have also been using Aveeno skin relief calming lotion with cooling action. | F | 32 | 3 months | 2/4/2014 | 1 | Birth Control | While I was on the shot I didn't have any BAD side effects. I never had a period sense my first shot. The only thing I noticed was when I got the shot every few months I would be dizzy and just didn't feel well for a couple days after wards. I have sense stopped taking the Depo, my last shot was 15 months ago and I am still having problems. VERY irregular periods, and I have suddenly started suffering from depression. Almost like my body is going through a "withdrawal" from being on this drug. My hormones are all screwed up. Before taking depo I was a HAPPY, HEALTHY person with NO history of depression or anxiety. STAY AWAY FROM THIS NASTY STUFF! | * No negative side effects DURING the time I was on Depo *DEPRESSION once I stopped taking Depo * IRREGULAR periods for over 1 year after stopping Depo | F | 25 | 2 years 1X O | 2/3/2014 | 1 | unable to have more kids | Was fine first 3 Weeks no bleeding etc now been bleeding 2 Weeks with no sign of going just getting heavier with immense pain also mood swings and crankiness towards my partner and kids I will not be taking this again in march | F | 23 | 1 months 1x | 1/30/2014 | 3 | Cysts on ovaries | High bp, headaches, anxiety, panic attacks and agrophobia. | F | 43 | 4 years | 1/29/2014 | 2 | contraception post pregnancy | Mood swings, unable to feel when full, massive weight gain. | F | 25 | 3 months | 1/23/2014 | 1 | Contraception | Received this medication following a medical termination, also I felt forced into taking it by the nurse, who made me feel guilty and embarrased for being in this situation, felt like I couldn't leave the hospital without either the injection or implant. One month following the shot, I experienced severe headaches and migraines with aura, rushed to a&e with suspected bleed on my brain, received ct scan and lumber puncture, tests clear. For three months I experienced dizzyness, headaches and migraines, brain fog, forgetfulness, mood swings, lethargy and seeked solitude. Four months on, most symptoms have eased, but migraines with aura a problem, also it has caused tmj disorder due to constant teeth grinding when in pain. Never ever ever again with I have this shot !! Can't wait to have some sort of life back | F | 34 | 1 times | 1/20/2014 | 1 | contraception | MASSIVE WEIGHT GAIN !!!!!! Caused food intolerances wish there was something to reverse the effects | Do Not Do It!! I had never had trouble with my weight before, had always been 10 stone, didnt put a single pound on through pregnancy. had the injection, 1 every 3 months. Total of 3 injections, Put a stone on (14lb) with each injection...... by the end i was a massive 13.5 stone!! I have suffered with controlling my weight and food intolerances ever since............. wish id never done it!!!! | F | 30 | 12 months 1X O | 1/19/2014 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | My doctor suggested I have this injection. I have had to have a week off work after waves of sickness and anxiety! Think carefully about this I have been bleeding for 10 days with no outlook of it going. I came off the mini pill due to bleeding constantly so this is now 7 months constant bleeding, constant being tired and depressed. You cannot reverse thr affects so 3 months of feeling like this I just want it out od my body im so fed up!!! | F | 25 | 3 months | 1/19/2014 | 4 | very painful periods | When I first started taking this, i was about 165-170 not very husky.. ive been on this for about 3 years and ive ballooned to a whopping 230 pounds. And on top of that I have a hernia. Doubt if the depo caused that but all this extra weight that im carrying around is hard to get rid of. I dont know. I dont recommend this to anyone but I am kinda satisfied because I havent had a period. I would like to switch but im not sure. | F | 23 | 3 days | 1/16/2014 | 1 | contraception | DONT DO IT i am suffering constant headaches,dizzyness and memory loss also my eyesight is definately not what it was.im always tired and grumpy,even though i get a good 9 hours sleep a night.my sex drive is non existant.i cant wait for this poison to be out of my body :( if anyone wants to chat email me xx | F | 27 | 9 months | 1/12/2014 | 3 | pregnancy prevention | Weight gain, bloated feeling, very gassy, flatulate a lot now, sometimes unable to get wet, a lot more self conscious of how I look and feel. Feel lazy, not much motivation to do things. I've put on probably abt 15-20 lbs.. i haven't really had to horrible of an experience so far, however I will probably switch to something else this coming March due to the weight gain and lack of motivation. I used to be able to get up and excersize but I find it harder than normal to get going. I also have had a little back pain which may have been exaggerated due to the extra weight im carrying around. | F | 21 | 6 months | 12/31/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | Wish I would have read up more before getting the shot! Although it effects people differently I do not recommend getting it. Doctors don't tell you all of the side effects but I experienced weight gain, always being hungry, and painful sex since being on the shot I'm scared other side affects will show up or I've overlooked some the shot wears off in 2 months I will not be going back for another. | F | 19 | 4 months | 12/28/2013 |
