Deprovera
I was on the depo shot for 3 years and have been off now for about a year (because I moved to another state). I can not wait to get back on it. I have had such heavy, painful bleeds and have been so tired and run down since being off the shot. Each person reacts differently, because of our body chemistry. I had NO adverse affects till I got off the shot.
Those who are just starting the Depo shot, give it time.
There are a few so called "horror" stories (most over reactions) and just as many if not more success stories and women who swear by it.
There are risks with ALL the birth control pills and methods put there.
