I have had mennoraghia since I was 16 years old. I finally met an OBGYN that suggested the Depo shot. I began the Depo shot 2 years ago and I was extremely happy with the immediate results of no period. Throughout my treatment I developed severe depression which went misdiagnosed and unrelated to the Depo shot. I also developed a severe case of Acid Reflux which actually put me in the ICU for two days. Throughout the two years I also gained 35 pounds. Is this all related I believe it is. Depo shot leading to Lexapro leading to Prevacid then to the weight gain. I am now off the Depo shot and I am extremely happy because I finally fell like myself again. I am no longer on the Lexapro and I have now begun to lose some of the weight I gained. Is it worth it? I would highly disagree. This shot should be a last resort considering it fools your body into menopause which is unnatural at the age of 35. I suggest weighing all other options before even beginning this therapy.
