 Posted: 09/10/07 - 13:26 Post subject: Side effects to Depo |
  |
|
| I was on Depo for over four years. I gained over 50 pounds and did not eat like a horse. When I quit taking the shot I lost all this weight and my libido came back. I wish modern medicine would devote as much time to women's health as it seems to do with men and their Viagra issues! |

|

| I gained almost 50 pounds and am not a heavy eater plus lost my libido. Once I quit taking it (two years ago), I lost the weight and my libido is back. If modern science would devote as much time to women's health as they do to men and their Viagra issues we would have better alternatives out there. |

|
|
| I started taking the shot May 07 and I took another one on Aug 07, the first shot I did ok, then since the second shot I have been bleeding non stop, its been almost 3 months and I'm still bleeding, I have been feeling so tired and hurting in my lower stomach and in my legs, I would not recommend the shot to anyone. I am not going back for anymore shots, I'm going to let my system get back to normal and I'm going back on the ortho pill. |

|
|
| Okay, so these comments have been extremely helpful. I had my first shot of Depo Vera at the end of July '07. Its now Oct '07, I only had my first shot, but I have been bleeding ever since I got the stupid shot. I'm also having frequent migraines lately, and am definitely considering NOT continuing this shot anymore. I haven't experience weight gain, thank God, but I have been losing a lot of hair, and the headaches are a killer. I got this shot a month after my second son was born, he is now 4 months. I would rather go with abstinence than to have this in my system. |

As I have started a steady relationship, I’ve been thinking about birth control pills. My best friend recommended me Depo vera BC pills, but some girls at work disapprove them. Are there any side effects in using depo vera?

PLEASE DO NOT GO ON DEPO VERA. I went on it and I have been bleeding for 2 months straight. My mood swings are INSANE- I get completely depressed one minute and the next angry or back to normal. I havent gained weight but I have gotten cystic zits on my back and on my head. It has been pure hell- I DO NOT recommend this to anyone. No birth control is worth it. |

| Depo Provera WARNING wrote: | | I used Depo from 1999 - 2006 on my G.P's advice that it was perfectly 'safe' and had no side effects other than no periods. In September '06 after reading online risks I demanded a Bone Density Scan and to my horror Depo has caused Osteoporosis. I am 30 yrs old!! My skeleton is equal to that of a 70 yr old woman thanks to Depo. I had no period for 7 yrs, my oestrogen levels are now exremeley low and indicate I've gone through early menopause, my G.P refuses to test for this at this stage. I also had 4 stone weight gain - wich I have now lost with extreme dedication, mood swings, blurred vision, chronic abdominal pain, lack of lubrication , exhaustion and more. The G.P never informed me these were side effects so I continued with the Depo unaware it was the cause for 7 yrs. Only on a friends advice end 2006 I Googled Depo side effects and read and read, what I found was shocking. To all you women out there on this crazy drug, look up the side effects, go to the manufactureres website - pfizer.com, GET a copy of the patent info sheet, this is no good for you. I've been off it 4 months and no period yet. |
i have desided to go off depo..my last shot was due the beginning of this month (Feb).. I have been on the Depo since around 2001.. i had no idea it was this bad for me..is there anything i should be worried about.. and around how long do u think it will take me before i get a period again.. an how long should it last..? |
