 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

 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

 1   Nasty nasty stuff. I wouldn't recommend to anyone and I will not be having it again. I had it 2 weeks ago. After a week as it kicked it my mood has been horrific since. I constantly feel angry and I am nasty which is not like me at all. I've shouted loudly at my son a few times then cried. Also my labido is now zero- no wonder it works because I don't even want sex. My relationship is suffering too, I keep arguing with my partner because my mood is so rubbish. Can't wait until this wear off, but I'm thinking my relationship will be over by then. Never again. F 31 3 months

 1  To help Menstral less painf This was the absolute worst thing I could have ever got on. I have gained weight. My mood swings are horrible. I am so depressed all the time. I have to wear panty liners everyday because I bleed not enough for a tampon or a pad. It is terrible. I always feel like I am not clean. It has been almost a month since I was supposed to get another 3 month shot and I am still bleesing the same and wearing panty liners everyday. I feel this crap should be pulled and never give to anyone! F 36 3 months

 1   The night I got the shot, immediately I fell very ill. I didnt get much better after 3 weeks. Your body feels weak, you basically get prolonged cold symptoms/flu symptoms. A sickness that won't go away. And your body continues to throb. My body hates this poison. Not fun. F 24 3 months

 1  Birth Control Dizzy spells Painful intercourse Swollen glands Extreme mood changes I did further research on Depo. It's considered a black market drug. It has not "officially" been approved by the FDA. It slipped thru. Tests on animals confirmed this drug causes cancer. This drug is a killer. Do not take it! F 37 3 months

 1  To stop pregnancy I didn't realise that this shot strips you of vital vitamins folate and vitamin d which made me so so poorly,, I had mood swings, body aches, not sleeping well, headaches, dizziness, feeling sick,, the list is endless!! I recommend anyone who is on this or just come off to get there vitamin levels checked. I used the depo for years before which I didn't realise until this time that it was what was causing all these issues if I'd have known I'd have never gone back on it!!! Stay clear ladies F 37 3 months

 1  Uterine Fibroids I got the depo-provera injection for the first time 1 month ago (April 28, 2023) and it will be my last. I now have really bad nervousness, anxiety and insomnia. My life has changed since I got the shot. I cannot sleep and I barely eat from the anxiety. I have lost 12 lbs in 1 month. When I try to get some sleep I wake up out of nowhere shaking with severe heart palpitations. I do not recommend this injection at all!!!!! It has ruined my life. I was only told about the weight gain but never any other side effects. I am praying that these side effects go away soon. F 41 3 months
