 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

 1  Birth Control I have been on the depo-provera injection for 2 weeks now (it is due to last 3 months in my system before my next injection). I have tried both the pill & the implant and neither have worked for me personally, so this got recommended. At first, all felt fine, however over the last few days I have felt extremely nauseous, shaky, very anxious & emotional all of the time, which isn't like me at all. I am usually (thankfully) quite an upbeat & happy person, but this has completely ruined my mood. I've spent the last few evenings constantly crying & feeling like I'm going to have a panic attack. I've been searching the internet to try and see if there has been anyone with similar symptoms to me after having their first round, so feel much better now I've found others that have had the same experience. Would not recommend AT ALL. I am just praying I will go back to normal once this horrible drug has worn off & left my body. Would NOT recommend at all. Don't do it! Constant anxiety, very emotional, nauseous, etc. F 20 2 weeks

 5  Birth control Only side effect I get is I don't get my period until it's time to get my shot again, it's my reminder, haha. Everyone is different, but all these horrible side effects these women are apparently having through the depo is just... Seems far fetched. I love the depo, been on it for many years, and never once experienced a single bad side effect. But as I said, it just depends on your body chemistry. Hope this helps! F 28 3 weeks

 5  Prevent pregnancy Mood swings No appetite for few weeks Body Temperature changes I ended up losing weight on depo-provera , I was always concerned about gaining weight on this shot, however I never felt the need to eat more. Temperature changes for sure, I am always cold and I never had this problem before. Doesn't bother me though. I just bring a blanket everywhere. Mood swings the first 2 weeks but they settled down for me majorly. F 18 3 weeks

 4  Birthcontrol I haven't really had any side affects, i have been on it about 2 or 3 weeks. I'm normally moody and tired, i have lost weight though. I possibly have endometrios, it runs in my family, my doctor said that it seems to be the best treatment because it could get rid of it. Birthcontrol pills don't work for me, they make my period work and my cramps worse to the point that i can't even walk around at work. F 17 3 weeks

 1  so I would no longer get my period. I super regret taking this shot. No one warned me! My breasts hurt, joint pain, headaches severe acne, and mood swings from Hell. I never had acne issues before this shot and my face turned super oily and filled with white heads! I feel so insecure! I'm so afraid it will leave scars, I made an appointment to get acne medication till it's out of my system. The worst part is having uncontrollable anger. I told my to f off last night - TWICE. I feel so bad! I can't believe I said that! My sister took this shot and had no issues so I figured I'd be fine. NOPE. I have been avoiding my boyfriend and friends because of how psycho I am and disgusting my face is. I have severe depression and seriously considered suicide. I'm only a month in and I don't want to go on another two months of not being able to control my anger and hurting people. I am so not this person this shot is making me. Don't get this shot. Just don't even risk it. It has destroyed my entire fucking summer. Oh and it didn't even so what it was supposed to. I had nasty dark discharge for over a week. With horrible cramps. I'm not even sexually active! And with my face like this and gaining weight slowly? That might STAY that way. Don't do it. Just don't. F 19 3 weeks

 1  Birth control so I wouldn't get pregnant I'm angry, I feel so raged, when I'm not pist off I'm crying so depressed.. I never want to go anywhere, I barely even leave my bedroom. I've gained like 5 pounds since I got the shot which was three weeks ago. I'm fighting with my husband constantly I'm so annoyed all the time. I really wish I would've never gotten the shot because I am going crazy and I am driving my family crazy to all I do is yell or cry it's horrible. I do not recommend getting the shot! F 29 3 weeks

 1  Ignorant Means of Birth control Severe mood swings, joint pain, depression, acne Thank you for your honesty ladies...hindsight is 20/20. Christmas Day 2007 was the worst ever. I cried violently, woke up extremely depressed and agitated, became irritated when my family called for me (they were holding hands, standing, about to pray over the meal)...my response? "Would somebody PLEASE say the prayer?" before darting out of the room. Alone, I cried some more and began to drink. I'm agitated when my man asked me for any sexual favors, tired ALL the time...lost booty and gained gut (possibly just bloating)...the kicker? Haven't even been on the shot of "death" for a full month. Told my friend if I start talking suicide, to put me in a home and sue the pants off the bastards that produced this profit making baby killer. F 30 3 weeks

 1  Birth control Severe joint/muscle pain, stiffness, extreme irritability, psychotic depression, intrusive thoughts of suicide, mood swings, fatigue, constant bloating, random cramping throughout the day, complete loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse (feels like there's a piece of broken glass stuck in there), mild but almost constant headache, anxiety attacks, rage I had never been on birth control before and I just decided to try it out. I have battled with severe depression and anxiety my entire life and come close to attempting suicide many times. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and I started taking the antidepressant Effexor. I've been taking 300mg/day since and I've felt wonderful UNTIL I GOT THIS SHOT. I feel like it's completely canceled out my antidepressants and I'm back to being angry and wanting to die all the time. The joint/muscle pain makes me feel like I've aged 40 years over night. F 30 3 weeks

 1  not wanting to get pregnant loss of sex drive, nasea, horrible stomache ache, depression with suisidal thoughts, horrible mood swings, dissy, head aches, ect i only took it a few weeks ago. i didnt find out how bad it was until the same day i got the shot and one of my friends said she got a stomache ache from it. well she was right and more. my boyfriend has to deal with me being happy one minute to yelling at him for no reason the next. he also had to sit there and listen to me say oh life sucks, why am i alive, stuff like that. if i could go back, i would never have gotten this shot. im going to not go back for my next one in march. i hate the feelings of mood swings, stomache aches so bad i just wanna puke. i have like no energy. my boyfriend noticed that im not into sex as much as i was before. THEY SERIOUSLY NEED TO TAKE THIS OFF THE MARKET!!!!! also my boyfriends mom said she has known people on it, and she never heard a good thing about it... F 14 3 weeks

 1  To avoid pregnancy Before getting on the shot I was fully aware of the side effects but knowing everyone reacts differently I thought Id be open minded and give it a try… Not the best idea. The first week of getting the shot my breast were very tender and sore. The second week I'd get random cramps here and there. I'm on my third week and am nauseous all the time along with the other symptoms. Will be changing up my contraception method next time around. F 24 3 weeks
