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.

i agree started taking it when i was 16 to get rid of my period and i barley knew anything about it i also found out later on that it takes calcium away from your bones i was told f your n it to take vitamin d to help with that i regret being on it because now i am 26 off of it for 2 years and have still not been able to get pregnant and i was the type of person that didnt go on not to get pregnant i have always wanted a kid i went on it beause my periods were to painful with the back problems i have and i couldnt wear tampons so i went on depo to get rid of my period and it worked tryed to go off a couple times because i wanted to get it out of my system so i could have a kid when i wanted to bu i found the guys i was with everytime i was not serious enough about to have to put up with the pain of my period but now i have been in a happy long term relationshp for almost 5 years and we want to have a baby and i honestly think being on the depo shot from age 16 to age 23 or 24 is whats causeing alot of probles for me and also had cause me to gain alot of weight over those years so as far as im concerned DO NOT TAKE THE DEPO SHOT thas to anyone who reads this is thinking about taking it
