>>��Hello......I understand what everyone was saying from the good to the very bad. I too was on depro vera. I was only 15. For almost a year I did not have a period or any symptoms. I only got the jab twice. When I did start my period it lasted for 14 days and my next was 16. Then I did not have another for a long time. When I did it lasted for 10 days. Now I am 22. My periods are still out of whack. Sometimes I have one then sometimes I don't. sometimes they are so painfull that I will take STRONG painkillers tohelp the pain. But thats all it does, lessens the pain. I have been to several doctors and they say I am normal. When I was on the depro vera, I looked horrible. My eyes looked as if someone punched me and gave me 2 black eyes, I gained about 15 pounds, became very depressed, and had black hair where it was suppose to be blonde. I was also looking for anyone who knew of any long term side effects to this drug. I also have to say that I do not and will not recommend this drug to anyone for a form of birth control. I wish that the doctors would be a little more open about this drug and tell the patients about the effects it has on a womens body before they use it. ALL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS.............
