So it has been almost 3 months since I got my first depo (I think that is what it is called) shot for birth control. Thursday will be my 2nd but I am not sure I want it. I have been feeling week, dizzy, tried, nervousness, nausea, headaches, stomach discomfort. Which are all side affects of this so has anyone else had these problems and if so what did you do?
Think you all for your answers. I talked to my doctor today and I am no longer taking the shot. My doctor told me that these symptoms should go away in about two weeks and if they don't to come back in. Again think you all.
Depo wrecked my body. I wouldn't recommend anyone take it. When I was on it, I was moody, had hot flashes and cold sweats (menopause symptoms at 35), migraines, and developed fibromyalgia. I got off it, and my symptoms diminished and eventually went away completely.
I was on Depo 15 years ago. I loved it then, but from what I understand they changed something about it and I've heard nothing but bad since. And for what it's worth, I got pregnant while I was on it too. Rare yes, but my 14 year old is proof it can happen.
I have not been on it, but I've heard bad stuff. I wouldn't take the shot. Maybe another form of birth control would work better for you?
I was on depo for many years before I had my first kid and never got any kind of side effects and even now after I had my son I went back on it. The only difference about it now than before when I was on it is that I didn't bleed at all before and now when its getting close to the end when i have to get my next one i bleed like weeks before! But otherwise, it hasn't done anything to my body as in gaining weight or anything of the sorts.
