| 1 | Previously had a blood clot | Hair loss, itchy breast and 'down there', absolutely no sex drive/didn't want to be touched at all, severe depression and worst temper I have ever seen, can not lose weight, awful stomach pains, dizziness, headaches, anxiety. | F | 29 | 9 months | 9/24/2013 | 1 | Heavy periods, birth control | Loss of sex drive, weight gain, depression, mood swings, headaches. Also I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a disease where you have Utis everyday. And this disease has completely ruined my life. I'm 20 years old and had to quit having a social life, work, and school. I spend everyday sitting on the toilet and crying or in a hospital bed. I also got diagnosed with IBS which causes horrible stomach pain. I have a 3 year old and depo has really effected my ability to care for her. Most days I don't even wanna live I'm in so much pain. Not to mention all my hair fell out. I not leave my house anymore cause I have bald spots. I hate myself and how I look I feel so ugly. I don't know how this stuff is on the market it's horrible. Please no one take this. Everyday I'm miserable depo has ruined my life | F | 20 | 3 months 15mg | 9/22/2013 | 1 | for pelvic congestive syndrome | Complete Iibido Loss, weight Gain, urinary tract infections, pelvic infections, depression, mood swings, gasterontestinal upset, bad acne, hypothyroidism. I will never EVER use this poison again. Once I got off I experienced short term withdrawls after stopping in march of 2013 and still waiting for a period and body to come back to normal. I hated being on it and myself and my husband didn't like the person I was while on it and the health complaints. I do NOT reccomend this B/c. | F | 30 | 1 years | 9/17/2013 | 1 | pelvic congestive syndrome | Complete loss of libido, weight gain, severe anxiety attacks, depression, urinary infections, pelvic infections, severe mood swing, digestive upset, constipation, nausea, headaches, developed hypothyroidism just while on it, weakened immune system, urinary irritation constantly, withdraws, upon getting off it, lack of menstruation even after stopping. | I would recommend that NO ONE use this as a form of b/c method. It has ruined my life and cause so many health issues. while being on it I have never had so many health issues that sent me to the doctor back and forth and to the emergency room. My tubes are tied so I only used it as a method to calm my pelvic congestive syndrome and wished that the pcs was the only issue and rather had dealt with only that instead of all the issues after taking the shot .The withdraws were awful after stopping the drug. And I developed a hypothyroidism while on it then it went back to normal after going off shot. my last shot was suppose to be march of 2013 but I refused it. since then im still waiting for my period to return so that my body be restored back to its normal self. I HATE this b/c and will NEVER use it again. It may work for some but its not for me. Its poison!!! NOT a good drug! | F | 30 | 1 years 4 shots 1X O | 9/17/2013 Patient History | 1 | Wanted no more kids | Headaches, severe depression, severe sweating, unpleasant vaginal odour, now found a couple of bald spots on my head, indigestion heartburn, i'm sure i could name some more. Nurse didn't tell me all this could happen the depression is getting worse because of the hair loss so it's a vicious circle. Will definitely not getting the next one on 29th october | F | 41 | 1 years | 9/17/2013 | 1 | contraception | Horrible horrible drug. Took me far too long to realize the horrible side effects. No doctor made the link. Too many problems to list. I lost my gallbladder. I am always severely sick to my stomach. Saw a gastroenterologist numerous times and had numerous tests. Many years later and finally deduced through elimination that it was the depo screwing up my whole system. I am finally off it and now suffer just as badly, along with nausea, sleeplessness, severe mood swings, backaches, headaches, dizzy spells, no sex drive, bloating, cramps, period is not back yet, hair loss... general aches and pains, general feeling of being ill from head to toe.. the list goes on. | F | 39 | 9 years 1X day | 9/9/2013 | 1 | prevent having kids | I liked not having my period but hated the severe depression.I was more lazy, ate a lot and I was always so Moody. | F | 18 | 2 months | 9/8/2013 | 1 | Contraception | Depression, mood swings, loss of libido, hard to get pregnant. | Hate this drug. I will not encourage anyone to take it. I had severe side effects. | F | 26 | 2 years 1X O | 9/6/2013 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | I want to say how horrible I've been feeling coming off the depo. It's been almost 4 months I been off. I did get my period back. Thank god. It took 2 months. Since being off the depo I've has horrible nausea, warm feelings, I sweat so much, stomach issues, frequent bowel movements, oily skin, pimple breakouts, no appetite, messed up sleep patterns, anxiety (I can't even fart without thinking I'm dying), weird discharges, just weird feelings in general, and one minute I want to cry and the next minute I want to slap the crap out of someone. It's horrible. No way to live. Don't get the depo. | F | 32 | 9 months 3 shots | 8/26/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | I was an extremely fit athlete when I started Depo. Within days of my first shot, I experienced constant asthma attacks, hives, weakened immune system, diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue. I didn't link this to the shot, kept taking them, and those symptoms worsened, adding to them chronic exhaustion, irritability, bone loss, loose teeth, histamine intolerance, gluten intolerance, painful sex, low sex drive, difficulty breathing, weight gain of 25 pounds (despite the fact that I eat app. 1700 calories/day and am 5"10" and was running 80 miles/week), brain fog, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, intense lower back pain, intestinal damage, hemorrhoids, nipple discharge, abdominal swelling, pruritis, amenorrhea, inability to concentrate, chest tightness, constant throat clearing, inability to lose weight, night sweats and constant nightmares. My last shot was 2 weeks ago and I only recently linked my debilitating, sudden-onset illnesses to Depo. Waiting for this drug to come | M | 34 | 4 years 1X O | 8/25/2013 | 2 | No periods , birthcontrol | This is only my second week , I have noticed headaches at night . laziness , no weight gain so far . & a oder from vagina . i never had an odor until now . Just can't wait till these 3 months are over . not getting it again !!!! | 16 | 2 weeks | 8/17/2013 | 3 | pregnacy prevention/fewer periods | Good and bad things came with this. The good things are that I feel like I am safe from pregnancy and that my periods have stopped completely. The bad things which can't be directly connected to depo but have seemed to be common among other ladies are that, I haven't had any sort of wetness down there. At first I loved that, until I realized that not being able to get wet made for painful and unpleasant sex. Loss of sex drive. I didn't really notice til recently that I have been mistaking my desire to have sex because I enjoy It, for being horny. I don't get that 'must touch must be touched' feeling anymore. LikeI said, these things may not be because of depo, but I going to see I f they change If I stop getting the shot | F | 18 | 6 months | 8/12/2013 | 1 | Birth control | Headaches, back pains, light headed always upset & moody , always tired And i have an Odor & discharge wich i never had that before the shot.

Within the first week of getting the shot I had severe headaches and nausea that had me bed ridden for a few days. It's been 13 weeks and just today I had painfully sharp cramping that left me feeling shaky for the rest of the day the cramping also brought with it an on-slaughter of nausea. I've had unprotected sex many times during the last 13 weeks and am worried about possibly being pregnant again so soon after losing my first unborn child. | F | 20 | 3 months 20mgs | 8/5/2013 | 1 | I don't want anymore children | The depo has sent me pyscho. My hormones are crazy I feel I've got a split personality and that's its making me ill in the head! | F | 25 | 2 years not sure | 8/3/2013 | 1 | birth control | It has killed my sex drive.
