1 | Gave Birth. Needed Birth Control | Nauseated, Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety Through The Roof. Chest Pains, Body Aches, Neck Aches, Moody, Crying, Horrible Thoughts, Aggression.. Etc | I was perfectly fine Before I got this birth control! This was a horrible decision.. I feel like I'm losing my mind. It's almost 4 months later. I really hope these side affects go away! I'll never get the shot again. | F | 31 | 3 months | 5/24/2020 | 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 | Preventing another pregnancy | My period are now irregular, Always tired, sometimes i eat to much , sometimes i cant eat, Nauseous, Emotional , back pain | I never ever in my life will take this drug .

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 | 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 | 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 | 3/10/2017 | 1 | No more children | My god never been so ill, constantly feel like I have flu my spine too and bottom really hurts my breast are really sore. I have no energy to do anything, and my mood swings are really bad, as well as gaining nearly 2 stone weight. | This should be taken off the market | F | 37 | 3 months | 3/20/2017 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | Horrible headaches, extreme dizziness to the point where I would fall into walls while walking, dark brown/red discharge constantly, extreme depression, low sex drive | This is horrible! I highly suggest you find a different contraceptive because this will thoroughly mess you up. I've only had one shot and I've had problems from the moment I got it, I can't wait for everything to go back to normal, if it ever will! | F | 23 | 3 months 1 shot | 2/8/2017 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Depression, mood swings, irritable, no period, no sex drive, nausea, headaches, breast tenderness | Absolutely hate it. | F | 23 | 3 months | 12/6/2016 | 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 30mg | 2/25/2016 | 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 | 2/9/2017 | 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 | 12/1/2016 | 1 | Birth control/lighten period | Horrible migraines, bloody/Brown discharge, fever , chills , pains in back & lower abdomen. | Do not recommend it is a bad form of Birth control. I have learned not to mess with gods plans , use a condom . Don't fuck with your body. | F | 18 | 3 months 150 | 1/28/2017 | 1 | Birth control | Fever, chills, body aches, headaches, breast pain, spotting | Poison needle! I would wish the three months of side effects on anyone, my doctor told me it was like the pill! What a lie! | F | 30 | 3 months | 9/22/2016 | 1 | Stop period | Extreme Anxiety,hot flashes, headaches and weak legs feel like I'm going to fall are faint.

My 1st and last injection never ever again! I'm on week 5 of 12 and I cannot wait to get this poison out my body! | F | 35 | 3 months 1X O | 4/19/2023 | 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 1X day | 5/6/2023 | 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 30MG 1X day | 5/27/2023 Patient History | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | I have sore breast headaches severe cramps back pain always tired no motivation always sick severe nausea ans feel like passing out a lot and I am always so angry over everything ruined my life don't take it | F | 18 | 3 months 1X day | 9/7/2022 | 1 | lies. feom.
