| 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 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | On the 3 month shot: Migraine like head will explode.back & tummy aches, dry during sex, light bleeding non stop, slept a lot, depressed,cry a lot, short bad temper shouting at kids, Off the shot: no bleeding for 3 months straight, Migraines, back & tummy aches, pregnancy symptoms, hypersensitive tip of nipples(just before i got AF on the 4th month),bloated,gas, constipated, eating non stop, gained fat around belly area which i never had tummy rolls before, dizziness, can sleep 12 hours straight, depression lifting slowly, | 2kids.Never took any form of contraception until i hit age 34.combination pills i could not bare so i tried depo Fam & it worked like a charm for 1 shot dose 3months lasted me 6months worry free very active sexlife.thinking about having another shot now that Aunt Flow is back on 7th month.loved the no bleeding side effect! Baby dust to those wanting BFP 💝 | F | 35 | 1 times | 11/12/2016 | 1 | prevention | I hve been on depo since Sept I got very very sick after taking this injection 💉. Had extreme headaches that caused papilladima and 6th nerve palsy. My Drs say its unlikely depo would cause this but I know I deteriorated straigt after taking this killer drug and they did mri scans and all sorts of tests but cannot find the cause.hospitalised for almost a month. I still experience a slight headach my skin went two colours. I regret the day I injected this because I'm still recovering from double vision. DO NOT USE THIS. I WISH THE NURSES WPULD ADVISE US BETTER | I almost went blind because of this I would not advise anyone to use it. | F | 25 | 2 months | 11/7/2016 | 1 | Birth control | Depression, episodes of vertigo | I got ONE shot of Depo Provera, the only side effect they warned me about was possible weight gain. I was an emotional wreck for months. Even scarier, I started having episodes of vertigo about twice a week, where the world would suddenly start spinning for a few seconds. Never knew when it would hit - I even had a few episodes while driving. After three months, when it's supposed to have "worn off" the episodes started tapering off, but they still occurred occasionally for the next three years. Haven't had any problems now for about 1.5 years, so hopefully it's behind me. Would not recommend to anyone. | F | 26 | 1 days 1 shot | 11/4/2016 | 1 | To treat pmdd/stop menstruation | I have issues with depression and anxiety, but since taking depo provera these symptoms have worsened unimaginably! Not just experiencing anxiety anymore, now I have full blown panic attacks where my chest is caving in and hard to breathe. Depression has went from episodal mild/moderate to constant severe to the point of nearly constant suicidal ideations. I am fatigued often, usually daily and that has never been a characteristic of mine. Irratable and angry mood swings accompany my constant depression. Used to sleep sound and regular, I wake all through the night, usually dripping in sweat! Never had nights sweats before, or the daily hot flashes. Prolonged bleeding. Horrible... | F | 39 | 1 days | 10/11/2016 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | Nausea, vomiting, sore breasts, sleepless nights, horrible cramping, heavy bleeding, no appetite, mood swings | Depo has ruined my life. I was on it for 6 years and this is my 3rd month off of it. I cannot even begin to explain how horrible these withdrawal symptoms are. I've never had health problems and when I go to the doctor I'm told there's nothing they can do and no such thing as withdrawal symptoms which is not right. I'm honestly so fed up. I can't sleep I can't eat, I am vomiting and getting nauseous every single day. I have major cramps and mood swings. Diarrhea, body pains. It is all so horrible. Please, help. I'm so beyond done. | F | 21 | 6 years | 10/6/2016 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy, try a new BC | Severe headaches Severe neck pain Vision issues Constantly hungry, weight gain | I have never had any health issues or headaches in my life! I've only had one shot so far (2 months ago) and will ABSOLUTELY not get another!!! I wish I had done more research before choosing this terrible birth control. My headaches started a few weeks after getting the shot, and have continued everyday since. Sometimes I can't concentrate while driving or at work. I DO NOT recommend anyone trying this drug. DO YOUR RESEARCH. | F | 29 | 2 months | 9/30/2016 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | No sex drive, vaginal dryness, sex is painful, massive weight gain,sore breasts, emotional, mood swings, never know when my period is coming, since I got on it my period has been like a blackish reddish goop. Sorry if that's tmi | Definitely keeps you from getting pregnant but the side effects are not worth it. 18 now so I am finally getting off of it. If my parents only knew what its done to my body. Who knows if I can ever have kids. Do not take this. Get on something different | 5 years | 9/29/2016 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | HeadacheS, depression, anger, extremely tired, have been bleeding for 2 which just keeps getting worse instead of lighter. Severe sharp pains in stomach and back | 21 | 1 weeks | 9/29/2016 | 1 | So me and my Fiance could enjoy sex | HORRIBLE DISCHARGE,EXCESSIVE ANGER, MOOD SWINGS,ANXIETY. | DO NOT TAKE DEPO. IT'S A REASON GOD MADE OUR BODIES THE WAY HE DID BECAUSE ANYHING ELSE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE! | F | 21 | 1 times 30MG | 9/27/2016 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Depression, anxiety, on/off brown discharge, hormonal, no sex drive, vaginal dryness. | This was my second time on the depo (first time was a positive experience but I was a lot younger). This time I can only describe my experience as horrific. I became irrational, depressed, hated sex and the thought of it. Went to my doctor and explained my symptoms and she believed it was the depo creating these problems and 2 months off it I feel as if I'm getting back to my normal self. | F | 27 | 6 months | 9/24/2016 | 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 | Birth Control | Beyond terrible, an intense amount of pain, constant headaches and mood swings are awful. This is ruining my life. Bled for 3 weeks straight with lots of abdominal pain. | No one should take it | F | 19 | 2 months | 9/16/2016 | 1 | birth control | Anxiety, headache,themors,shakey, nausea, weak,tiredness | This shot had ruined my life until it wears off... I regret getting it. Its poison | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 9/3/2016 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | Severe nausea and tiredness. It's awful. And I'm hungry all the time but when I eat I get sick. Never had side effects on any other birth control. | F | 30 | 2 months | 9/1/2016 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I do not have a period, tiredness, and joints ache at times... | I would recommend this birth control because the side effects don't last long and any medication we take have them... Everyone bodies reacts different to each type of birth control and medicine.. You don't want kids I suggest you try it!!! | F | 33 | 1 months | 8/27/2016 | 1 | Birth control method | Hot flashes,cold chills, headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, and nervousness. | I do not recommend this to anyone because of the side effects that I've had taking this. I've had only one shot and I am due for my next shot but I am not going to get the next dose. It has caused me to have severe anxiety and I've had a total of 7 panic attacks in 2 months and 4 weeks time. | F | 27 | 1 times | 8/25/2016 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | No period at all for two months. I'm waiting for this third month to end. Nausea, cramps, joint pain, migraines, suicidal, lost, I feel almost cold in nature, it ruined my life. Angry, sad, off, weird discharge, crazy hormones, crazy feelings, an "off" feeling hit me. I hate it. | Ruined my whole life since I got it. Been screaming for the side effects to end. They should in September. It's already ruined everything I have. | F | 17 | 1 months 1 | 8/11/2016 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | No period at all for two months.

They should in September. It's already ruined everything I have. | F | 17 | 1 months 1 | 8/11/2016 | 4 | prevent pregnancy for 1 year | Prolong heavy bleeding,nausea, cramping | After having my son in January of 2014, I got on the shot the last week of April, 2014. Beginning in May of that year, I had the longest and heaviest period ever. It was nonstop from May 2014 until I quit in May of 2015. A month later, my period went back to normal. But now since April of this year, my period has been fluctuating like crazy. The days between periods are getting longer and it's like a guessing game. Although I don't mind that they seem lighter now days, I worry it's messing with my fertility because I would like to have another child one day. | F | 25 | 1 years | 7/31/2016 |
