Not For Me

Depo was the most aweful experience for me. I did research it and (mistakenly) did not feel that it would affect me like people said it affected them. I took the first and only shot in february 2005 and bled continuosly until June 2005 and have not bled since. Definitely not pregnant because the mood swings and major depression (unlike anything I have ever felt before) kept all people well away from me. I went from majorly depressed to angry beyond reasoning. The MD decided that I should switch to the pill 1 and a half months after receiving the shot in order to try to `normalize` my body but it made things much worse. I did not gain wait in fact I lost weight (mainly because I was soo depressed I did not even have the energy to get out of bed or even eat. Forget the sex drive..zip zippo nix... And I am normally very into it... Now I am scared that my body will never recover from it (being that I have yet to start periods again). My MD raved about it and did not warn me against any of the bad side effects..My mistake for being trusting. I am 34 years old. I don`t have any children. And now I feel that I probably never will. Why was I so stupid. Be careful if you are deciding to take this drug. Educate yourself and know yourself and by all means get a good MD!
