Depo-Provera ("The Shot")

 


sweetness241

I took a total of 3 shots..didn't gain any weight (but I work A LOT and I eat really well) I didn't realize that a lot of the problems I had been having with my mood swings/loss of sexual desire and drying up was from the shot. My last shot was last June, I was due for a shot in September but decided not to. THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING HIT ME. Coming off of the drug is the worst thing I've ever experienced, my mood swings got so bad it almost ended my 3 year relationship with my fiance. For a time, I didn't want to do ANYTHING, I sunk into really bad depression, I didn't feel like myself anymore and I couldn't sleep for days. I have gotten really bad acne when I never had acne problems as a teen. I didn't get some spotting til a few days ago and I rejoiced! I've been periodless since last June. I have been taking herbal supplements to detoxify my body and I'm working with a doctor to get my hormone levels back to normal. For something that didn't even make me want to have sex I have paid a high price. My sister went on it and she had non stop bleeding the whole 3 months but I didn't listen to her or anyone else for that matter because I thought nothing bad would happen to me. IT'S NOT WORTH IT! THIS DRUG SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET!!!

will you sign my petition to get the shot off the market? it can cause serious health problems and until these health problems can be effectively and hastily treated i dont believe it should be available for use. i am looking for 20000 signatures and could use all the help i can get. so i would greatly appreciate it if you could help. thanx so much.

I'm in the same boat. I stopped taking it in September and June was the last shot i got. It is now March and I still haven't had my period. It's worrying me really bad and i was wondering if you had any helpful advice?
