| 1 | Birth control | Depo destroyed my health. | F | 32 | 6 months | 2/7/2020 | 1 | Birth control | I spotted for 2 months until 1 wk before thanksgiving. Then I bleed every other day. I gained a few pounds, no sex drive, vaginal dryness and had some strong cramps. | On 9/13/19, the nurse gave me the 1st depo shot but she didn't said nothing about the side effects. On 12/29/19, I went to the ER and the doctor said Depo is making me bleed and it should stop within couple months. After that day, I bleed heavier everyday & I was getting tired of it. I went online to see reviews about this & I discover a remedy. I took 2 1300mg Evening Primrose oil capsule each day and on the 5th day my bleeding stop. The FDA should never approve this shot. I hope one day the FDA will take this off the market. No lady should suffer like after taking a medicine that should help them. | F | 31 | 1X O | 2/6/2020 | 1 | Avoid getting pregnant | Depression , anxiety, mood swings , extreme anger, tired , irritable, headaches | F | 33 | 45 days | 1/11/2020 | 1 | I was taking it for endometriosis | Anxiety, depression, unable to control my thoughts, night sweats and insomnia. | Worst birth control ever and I still have a month to go before it starts to wear off. | F | 28 | 3 months | 1/9/2020 | 1 | To not get pregnant | The first time I took the shot it was great I felt happy and full of energy. The 2nd shot not so great. Have been tired and grumpy just finished a 13 day period. Yesterday started very bad heart palpitations every 2nd beat feels wrong. Went to doctor results are basically bad anxiety. Going to get a 2nd opinion as I think its definitely the shot. | STAY AWAY PLEASE | F | 30 | 18 weeks Shot | 1/8/2020 | 1 | No pregnancy | Hair loss Stroke Brain Bleeds No period Prolonged periods Hair loss Mood swings Inter Cranial Pressure Temp loss of eye sight And More My daughter died from these issues | I'm fighting to get Depo off the market let's fight together. #JusticeForBre | F | 25 | 5 years | 12/20/2019 | 5 | My husband and I didn’t want to have | Little to no period, Sex drive was fine. Injection site sore for the first day or so. | Would definitely use it again no painful Object to get in the way of great love. Later 3 months avoided at least 3 chances of babies ... | F | 36 | 1 days | 11/18/2019 | 1 | Heavy cycles and prevent pregnancy | Never had a problem with any of the following until I got on that terrible never want again shot. Vision problems, heart palpitations(PVCs that have sent me to the e.r so many times I lost count), migraine headaches, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness, panic attacks, shakiness, depressed crying all the time and couldn't figure out why, shortness of breath, stomach issues, bloating, night sweats just not feeling like myself. All tests kept coming back normal no one could find a issue which was frustrating because I knew and felt something was wrong except my white blood cells, platelets, and d-dimer kept coming back elevated which led me to being at risk for deep vein thrombosis. Have been so scared for over a year and finally a nurse practitioner at a gastroenterologist appointment I had said "it may be the depo shot causing these issues. Started investigating and voila' found other women having difficulties with this also but bad part is it took me so long to tie all I've been going through was the shot. My primary doctor kept thinking it was all in my head and had me seeing a psychiatrist and being on anxiety meds. Can't wait till this is out of my system. | Wouldn't wish this evil on anyone. | F | 38 | 2 years | 11/14/2019 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | Anxiety, hair thinning, panic attacks, depression, fatigue, emotional all the time, trouble switching off, bad skin.. the list goes on | Do not take this form of contraception!!! Awful as so many others have already said. I hope I don’t feel like this forever as I had my last shot back in May and I feel worse than ever now I’ve come off it! Its affected my work and relationship! It did the job but really not worth it for the side affects. I will not be using any hormonal forms of contraception again, it’s put me off it completely and I don’t agree with it! I’m sure it works for some but I can quite clearly see here from the other reviews it’s definitely more negative! | F | 27 | 8 months | 11/7/2019 | 4 | fibroids | Mood swings,low mood,irritability. | This drug has helped with fibroid pain and bloating. | 43 | 14 days | 9/30/2019 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | I’ve never had vaginal dryness in my life. As a matter of fact, I’ve had more than enough “vaginal mucus” down their prior to my shot. It’s only been two weeks since my shot and I went from tsunami to Sahara. I’m also always on edge. I’m absolutely not myself. Everything makes me angry and irritable. I’m also very sensitive and depressed for the first time in my life. I’ve lost my appetite and I’m losing weight. I already don’t have much weight to lose. It’s scary how these negative life changing side effects are not told to you by your doctor. Most of these doctors selfish inconsiderate unprofessional and misleading. They care more about pushing these products than the damage it will do on your life. I highly recommend you seek other contraceptives if you haven’t injected that poison in you already. Now I’m stressed more so about how long this vaginal dryness and mood swings will last because I’m afraid it may damage my marriage. Smh I’m extremely dissatisfied. | This shot should be illegal | F | 29 | 1 days | 7/6/2019 | 1 | Birth control | Awful. Insomnia, non stop bleeding, night sweats and hot flushes, feverish chills, depression and mood swings, headaches and fatigue | F | 29 | 3 weeks IM inj | 6/19/2019 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | I’ve had horrible mood swings in just 16 days of my first shot of Depo, this is ridiculous. I’ve had horrible cramping and vaginal dryness. I don’t have intrest in sex anymore and it’s just horrible. I don’t understand why they didn’t tell me these side effects I could possibly experience while using the shot at the doctors office. The Depo shot should be discontinued and considering my age, they shouldn’t offer it to teens. There’s plenty of hormonal things going on with me right now, this doesn’t help. I always have an attitude and I’m basically angry at the world 24/7. As soon as I go to my doctor’s appointment, I’m getting off of this. This is so ridiculous and I should’ve been told beforehand the symptoms. I already struggle with depression and this isn’t helping. | Do not take the shot. Get the pill or another contraption. This is medically unsafe and should be recalled. The symptoms are too horrible, especially when you have another medical issue already, this just doesn’t help. | F | 16 | 16 days 30 MG | 6/1/2019 | 2 | Stop period | Horrible.cramps, irregular bleeding, palpitations, moodswings, snappy, weight gain. Pelvic and back pain | F | 28 | 7 months | 4/24/2019 | 1 | Endometriosis | Pelvic pain, Depression, mood swings, joint pain, joint weakness, mental distress, insomnia | F | 22 | 9 months | 4/13/2019 | 1 | For birth control | I feel like dying to be honest. The side effects scares me a lot. After getting the shot I'd been experiencing constant headaches and sever migraine that makes me feel like my head is going to explode to the point where I experienced numbness in my head which scares me a lot. I hope that won't lead to anything that is deadly. I also have constant back pain and abdomen aches everywhere. I regret getting the shot. I really hope that it wear off my body. I want it out of my system. It gives me a feeling that anytime I'm about to die, I don't want to die. | Please ladies, do not get the shot. I'm sad that I have to go through this. | F | 26 | 2 weeks 150 MG | 12/22/2018 | 1 | endometriosis | since I got the shot(7 months ago) I have had constant cramping, constant bleeding, migraines, increased anxiety, increased depression, and my hair is falling out. | I was pressured into taking it by my old doctor who I will not return to. I was told that there were no side affects, which could not have been further from the truth. Please do your research before you consider taking this drug, do not let your physician force you into it. | F | 20 | 1 times 1X O | 6/20/2018 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | The first weeks since the shot I was normal everything was good but when I got my period that month I began having anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, migraines,insomnia, horrible depression, was extremely tired, hair loss I have bold spots since then!, I lost twenty pounds in two weeks, I've been so weak. In the beginning I seriously thought I was dying! This is poison my mental health has never been this bad and I regret taking this so bad. It really just depends on your body it may work for you. My sister has been on it for two and a half years with no side effects. I do keep telling her to stay far away from that as possible but she wont listen. I lost my semester of college because of this I really hope they had something to give us for this but with what I've been reading you just have to wait for it to get out your system. | F | 19 | 3 months 1X O | 5/24/2018 | 1 | Finished having children | I immediately got so tired and fatigued. Sore joints all over and lost weight due to decreased appetite. Had migraines and bad stomach cramps even though I had no period. | I have been off Depo now for 5 months and it has been a nightmare. I have anxiety ( which iv needed medication for), bad back pain and shoulder pain, heavy long periods and generally feeling ill. DO NOT take this drug. It is awful when on it and a bigger nightmare coming off it. Never had any issues before injected with this poison. | F | 32 | 3 months | 4/28/2018 | 4 | Contraceptive & Menstrual | Horrible stomach cramps, Back pains, Tired all the time, No appetite, Very nauseous, Irritated easily, I have to pee ALOT, Decreased sex-drive and Vaginal dryness. | Despite the side effects, it has prevented pregnancy and I haven’t had a period since starting Depo-Provera | F | 17 | 2 months | 1/5/2018 |
