| 1 | birth control | weight gain, PERIODS ALL THE TIME | I do not recommend depo. It is very effective in contraceptive uses, but I've had my period for 2 months straight, and I've gained 10 lbs. I am not taking my 2nd dose. I am going back on ortho tri cyclen. | F | 23 | 1 times | 10/25/2003 | 4 | F | 23 | 4 days | 10/14/2003 | 4 | birth control | none what so ever....this drug is a miracle for those who suffer unbarable menstrual pains. | You never have to take a pill, even when u do take the pill u can lose it's effects due to vomiting or diarhea and wind up pregnant. This is pretty much fool proof. | F | 23 | 5 years | 10/14/2003 | 1 | Birth Control | I immediately went into anaphylactic shock moments after getting the shot and almost died in the ER that day. I was in bed for days after that and gained 10 to 15 pounds that week even though I ate nothing and drank little more than a glass of water each day. I never got another shot. 8 years later, I still have problems sleeping, memory loss, my hands are very shaky, I am always exhausted, and I periodically suffer from heart palpitations. | Doctors will tell you that there is no possible way for depo provera to have these side effects, but it does. Many other women suffer far worse than I did / do. | F | 33 | 1 times | 9/27/2003 | 2 | birth control | i had bleeding or spotting EVERY single day while i was using depo. | other than the bleeding this drug was great. i didnt have to worry about taking a pill every day and i didnt gain any weight at all (in fact, i lost weight). but the bleeding was annoying and unbearable. i put up with it for an entire year hoping it would go away because the other people i knew who used this said they didnt have a period at all (which would have been nice). | F | 27 | 1 years | 9/20/2003 | 3 | contraception | bloating, weight gain, acne, mood swings | F | 22 | 9 months | 5/14/2003 | 4 | Birth Control | weight gain - 30 lbs over 3 years | I loved it, except the weight gain. I have not had periods for 3 years. but got it back about 4.5 months after my last shot. Hope to find something that doesn't add the wieght. | F | 38 | 3 years | 2/3/2003 | 5 | birth control | irritability | Loved it- no periods, no worries! | F | 27 | 2 years | 1/25/2003 | 4 | For birtyh control | I have experienced acne, loss of appatie. | I love this drug for woman you don't have to worry about the monthly visits every month. | F | 26 | 5 years | 12/14/2002 | 5 | BIRTH CONTROL | ACNE, WEIGHT GAIN | THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION SINCE SLICED BREAD!!! | F | 24 | 4 days | 11/19/2002 | 1 | Birth Control | Within a 4 year time frame of taking Depo-Provera I gained a total of 30 lbs. I did not have a menstral cycle for 4 years. | This birth control did not work for me, but I know people that did not have the weight gain side effect. I switched to Ortho-Tricyclen and have now lost the weight gained from Depo-Provera. | F | 25 | 4 years | 8/14/2002 |
