 3  Pregnancy prevention After sitting for a long time, or sleeping, when I get up my feet crack in places I didn't realize I had joints. It's pretty uncomfortable, but doesn't last too long. I've also had a loss of appetite and on and off bleeding, but this is shortly after my first shot so the bleeding may stop (I hope) F 26 1 days

 2  Endometriosis Severe pain with sex (my poor vagina was a desert), NO sex drive and a 20 lb. weight gain, possible abnormal paps?? (Still trying to determine the cause of those, but they were normal until I went on this shot) It did cure the cronic exhaustion I was suffering as a result of the endo, and for me- it improved my overall mood- but I have to say in balance, it was NOT worth it. Off it now and my symptoms are improving, after a year, my boyfriend is VERY happy to have the old me back. F 35 1 days

 1  to prevent pregnancy NEVER and I repeat NEVER let this shot near you. Ever since taking it I have heart problems and aniexty through the roof I wake up shakey everyday, im always a nervous reck. The first time I received it was August 13th 2013 and I experienced BAD BAD dizziness couldn't even drive. The worst is the heart problems I developed mitral valve prolapse, and I NEVER EVER had heart problems, I went through my whole pregnancy amd before that with no heart problems, I take one shot and it ruined my life I no longer can do the things i once did , I feel like im a dead body.

 1  Prevent pregnancy Night sweats, headaches, lower back pain, hip pain, severe shoulder pain, bloating, digestive issues similar to IBS, on edge constantly, depressed, no confidence, vaginal dryness, loss of libido. I can't believe I was so naive to take my doctors word for this. All she told me was that it's the most effective and I'll either spot, have normal periods, or have no period at all. My bf was completely against it and I just took it based on my doctors word. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! I'm only 19 and I feel like a 50 year old woman. I have severe shoulder and hip pain and lower back pain. My stomach hurts almost constantly. I'm depressed and angry, cycling through the two. Have the most negative thoughts ever. My sex drive is so ridulously low, and worst of all I NEED LUBE! This might be tmi but I use to have no problem getting along without lube, now I have to use soooo much just so it won't hurt going in, and I can't last very long because I start hurting so so bad, it's so bad my bf doesn't want to have sex with me because he hates hurting me. I bleed as if I'm a virgin every single time and I've had a baby. Not to mention I haven't stopped bleeding. It's not heavy but it's enough I have to wear a tampon and panty liner everyday. Please do all the research you can before deciding to take any birth control. I wish I listened to my bf and did the research because I feel like I'm falling apart. F 19 1 days

 1  Birth Control Weight Gain of 18 lbs.; Increased Anxiety; Depression; Complete loss of sex drive; extreme breast tenderness; foot pain; loss of menstrual periods; vaginal dryness; hot flashes. I had one injection in December of 2008 in an emergency situation. I regret getting the Depo. With all of the side-effects people are enduring, it should be taken off the market. I haven't had a period yet and it's been 7 months since I got the injection. I've gained over 18 pounds and exercise is not helping one bit. I hope my hormone levels can be fixed soon. This is absolutely crazy! F 33 1 days

 1  birth control I had one shot about 4 months ago... Since then I have suffered from insomnia, extreme depression leading to self mutilation, hot and cold flashes, anger, lack of concentration, development of allerigies (I did not have any before), amoung other things. I am getting my master's and this has pretty much ruined my life. Now I have to see a detox specialist and am seeing a therapist for depression (that was never there before). There are no outside influences that could have caused all this, and although ti was a relief to find out that I wasn't going crazy, now I have to deal with the consequences... DO NOT TAKE THIS (if you like your life the way it is now) F 26 1 days
