Depovera Shot

I, too, have a horror story to tell about Depovera. I got on the shot to regulate my periods. Instead of regulating my periods, the shot made me bleed, non-stop for over a month. I gained weight and also became depressed and suicidal. The shot makes your emotions feel 10 times what they really are. I also experienced bad short-term memory loss. I received the shot two times and decided to get off of it because it was not serving its purpose. My doctor says it takes up to six months (since your last shot) for the hormones to leave your body. I cannot wait until this mess is out of me. Since not receiving my third shot at the three-month mark, I am starting to lose weight, but I constantly feel like I have to throw up and am very lethargic. I cannot wait until the day Depo leaves my system forever. I`m glad I learned about this drug before I ever thought about having kids. I know, now, not to use this type of contraception in the future. For anyone who uses this drug and finds this drug advantageous, wonderful! For anyone who is experiencing the side-effects that I experienced, stay far away from DEPO for your health, please! :)
