Please tell your girlfriend to see a doctor immedialty! I`ve been taking Deprovera for over 4 years ... And in that time have heard horror stories ... I have had no problem and love it. But if she is still bleding, losing her hair, bad cramps, and the list goes on ... She need`s to see a doctor. This form a birth control is very hard for a women`s body to get adjusted too ... And very hard to stop taking and have kids.

Good Luck!

Hello,

As the other poster suggested, she should go to see her doctor ASAP. I was on it and I had so many issues it was not funny. When I would get the shot theat side of my body would become numb, I was spotting like crazy, lost weight and then bleed for a year after I stopped taking it. I am now on the patch praise the Lord, and have had no side effects at all. She can check with her doctor to see if that can work for her. Good luck and happy new year.
