| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR DEPO-PROVERA | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Prevent pregnancy | It caused headaches (which I never had much of before ever),Moodiness, some nausea while on my periods (which lasted abnormally long as I can recall, like even 2 weeks), anxiety, stomach pain, weight loss, bloated stomach, dry skin/loss in sex drive.., I had a much better reaction to the pill, which I was on for almost a year, so if anything I would recomend the pill if you are truly dedicated to remember taking them daily, but I suppose everyones different too and maybe the shot would react better with you, although I wouldn't risk it like I did. I only took the shot twice before I decided it wasn't worth all these uncomfortable side effects and I had my last shot 5 months ago, When I got off it and the symtoms lightened up a for bit but are back again and im starting to wonder when its going to stop. So exhasuting, its also hard on my boyfriend as well with me being so moody and in pain and I can rarely have sex with him ever since I had started (which was the reason I took birth control to begin with so it was pointless) , definitely has caused some issues and stress, I'd seriously reconsider taking this if you plan on it. | F | 18 | 6 months | 7/11/2014 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy and periods | When I first started, I spotted for about a month then I was fine. My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex and no baby yet. Now in my sixth moth being on Depo, I am now spotting brown discharge. I only gained about 15 pounds on it which isn't bad. Mood swings were the only bad thing for me. I am still going to use it. It helps, I would recommend it to anyone. | F | 20 | 6 months | 7/6/2014 | 2 | Birth Control | I decided to take depo on June 5th 2014 because I had given birth to my 3rd son in April of this yr. I started spotting/light bleeding since June 20th. I hate it but good thing I don't need pads. I am using the soft cup. I heard that during the 1st 12 wks you may bleed the whole time. Then after that you should be fine, but it varies from person to person. My 2nd shot is due August 28th and I'm not getting it. What's the point of getting BC shot when all u do is bleed lol...so u can't have sex. Thank God my hubby is understanding. I just have to wait til the shot is outta my system 11-14wks. | F | 28 | 1 months | 7/2/2014 | 5 | Birth control | Weight loss, no periods | I loved being on the depo. I did not have breakthrough bleeding, and my periods stopped all together. I lost weight. I did not experience any emotional side effects. No loss of bone density (tests completed), and I took calcium and vitamin D daily while on depo. My sex drive was not affected. The only reason I have stopped it is to better plan for pregnancy in the future. Irregular periods after stopping the depo. | F | 27 | 8 years 1X O | 6/30/2014 | 2 | F | 1 days | 6/25/2014 | 1 | birth control | My step mom told me she was subscribing me depo provera birth control, no ifs, ans, or buts. The doctor did not tell me any side effects other than spotting for like four days a month or no spotting at all. I was very happy. I weighed 115 I'm 5'5. I had continuous, long deep periods that never went away a month after taking. When I went back after three months for the next shot, they weighed me and I weighed 135. I had actually eaten less in those months and I have a very high metabolism. I was unhappy about my weight. Still am. I continued bleeding heavily and gained ten more pounds. I told my step mom that this drug is evil and showed her these comments and she said to deal with it and she said I'm going to still take depo. I'm quite sure I can tell the doctor no because this is my body and this drug is evil. Mood swings, unwanted blood 24/7, absolute no sex drive, very emotional, I go to bed around ten and wake up at three in the afternoon! Horrible cramps, splitting headaches, horrible back pains and very unbalanced. Acne is 100× worse than before. Its all over my neck and I wash and care for my face regularly. Facial hair grows like weeds and body and leg hair too. Please Dont take depo provera, horrible drug. | F | 17 | 7 months | 6/25/2014 | 1 | Birth control | I had my first baby April 2013.so took this stupid shot in oct.. Now it's June 2014..and I still haven't had one decent period!

I just started having brown spotting in my underwear, the only thing that is good about this is I don't have my period. | F | 13 | 2 months 30 | 6/19/2014 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | The depo is the worst thing to be on everysince I've been on depo I've constantly been sleeping, my cramps are terrible, I struggle with my weight, never in the mood to have sex, causing me to be really emotional one minute I'm happy and love able next min I'm pissed off and then I'm sad and cry!
