>>��I had been on the shot for about a year and decided to just stop taking it. I was gaining weight and had heard how many things go wrong.

>>��My doctor says the weight from the Depo,shot could very well be permanent!
>>��It has messed up my metabolism.
>>��I have gained weight.
>>��It does not protect from STD's.
>>��It screws up your periods.

MY NAME IS MELISSA AND I AM 20 YEARS OLD I STARTED THE DEPO SHOT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AND IN THE FIRST YEAR I WENT FROM 98LBS TO 148 LBS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY THIN AND NOW I CAN'T LOOSE THE WEIGHT. AND THAT;S NOT EVEN THE WORSE OF IT MY SEXUAL DRIVE HAS DWINDLED DOWN TO ZERO AND I HAVE SEVERE VAGINAL DRYNESS. ALSO I HAVE SEVERE MIGRAINE HEADACHES, AND I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE HAS SEVERE HEADACHES THAT THINK THEY MIGHT BE LINKED TO THE SHOT.THE HEADACHES HAVE BECOME SO BAD THAT I CAN NO LONGER WORK AND I HAVE TO GET OFF OF THE SHOT. MY DOCTOR HAS DIAGNOSED ME WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS AND SAYS THAT THE SHOT IS ONE OF THE BEST TREATMENTS FOR THIS REPRODUCTIVE DISEASE, BUT I CAN NOT LIVE WHILE ON THE SHOT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANY SIMILIAR EXPERIENCES.
