| 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 am hungry, mood swinging irritated. I got it to prepare for a sterilization procedure at the suggestion of the nurse so they could make sure I wouldn't be pregnant on my appointment date. I'm also supposed to get another one after procedure until they're sure that it took. Not at this point. This is good example of why I want to get off the hormonal bc. | F | 34 | 7 weeks 150 | 5/13/2014 | 3 | Dont Want Kids | So Ive been on depo since march 2013 Everythigs kinda okay while im on depo I have NO PERIODS . But I have gained a lot of weight some days I feel pregnant and look pregnant so I take tests . it makes my back hurt and I feel movement in my stomach often Basically it justs makes me fat | F | 17 | 1X O | 5/8/2014 | 1 | Birth control | For two weeks after getting my shots i would become extremely emotional... Like crying on the floor for stupid reasons emotional. Also ive been RIDICULASY tired, like getting 7-9 hours and still fallin asleep in class!!!! Also nobody warned me about the apetite increase, they said i would gain about ten pounds, I went from 165 to 205 and i have a regular diet and exersize semi regularly. This shot KILLED my metabolism!!! The only bright side is i stoppe getting periods which is good because i have endometriosis and would get extremely heavy and painful periods. I am hopefully switching to another method this month!! | F | 16 | 9 months 160 MG | 5/6/2014 | 2 | BC | 1 days | 5/5/2014 | 1 | Birth Control method | Worst BC ever!!!! I switched from the Nuva Ring to the depo shot and it was the absolute worst decision ive made in my entire life.. January 22 i had my shot done and STILL to this day im spotting. The nurse did not mention anything to me about the spotting. I was started to spot on the Nuva ring even though ive been on it over a year so i switched. I have also felt Alotttttt angrier than i used to be and would freak out over nothing and not to mention I AM SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED... Its sucks so bad i just wanna cry because my bleeding wont go away. I also never took my next shot because i dont wanna risk another 3 months of spotting. | F | 19 | 3 months | 5/4/2014 | 1 | Extremely Heavy Periods | Made my depression worse; SUICIDAL; Anger; Back Pain; Heavy Bleeding; Excruciating menstrual cramps (like labor pains) | I am sooo extremely angry that I let my doctors talk me into getting this crap! I really hate doctors anymore. I have a 25 year history of Major depression and it is ALL over my medical history, and I should have NEVER been prescribed this BS! I AM ANGRY! I have been suicidal for 2 months since getting this shot, and although I have had depression forever and have had suicidal thoughts over the years, NOTHING like this! Then I start researching because of this and because of the excruciating cramps, and both are side effects. I almost fell to the floor. Not to mention, the whole reason I was taking this is because of extremely heavy periods that sent me to the ER in Jan & Feb for blood transfusions! And now, I've been bleeding for 10 days straight (HEAVY)! What the hell was the point?! I mentioned to one of my Docs that I was suicidal and that it is a side effect of Depo, only to be told 'no, I don't think so!' These docs need to go back to school & get educated! DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG! | F | 44 | 2 months 1X O | 5/3/2014 |
