Deprovera
I was on the deprovera shot for 7 yrs. I didn`t realize all the symptoms I was having were from mostly the shot. I started it because I could never remember to take the pill and i already had two kids. And didn`t want anymore but didn`t have any money to get fixed. So i got the shot at my health dept. They didn`t tell me any of the side affects or anything. I now realize all the problems i had was because of the shot. Since i have been off of it for 3 years. I didn`t gain weight but i also didnt lose any . I had no energy all i wanted to do was sleep all the time. I had no sexual feeling what so ever. My teeth literally started to fall to pieces. I had mood swings that were horrid. No one could get around me. I had no period for 8 years . And now my periods are very painfull. I had alot of hair on my body. Major swelling and pain in my joints.While i had excessive hair on my body i was going bald on my head. My hair would come out by the handfuls and i still suffer major depressive days. And i have headaches and dizziness to this day. I don`t suggest anyone should take this shot.

Hello, I recently received the Depo shot, and a couple of days ago, noticed I had a bald spot on the back of my head, in your post, you mentioned losing hair, what did you do about it?
