I started taking the depo shot Jan.18 1997. It was right after I had my second daughter. I took it for 3 years. During that time I never had a period, my hair started falling out,got depression,had no desire for sex,vaginal dryness,shrunk 2 inches,started into menopause. I talked my doctor about getting off the shot and they advised against it. Finally they gave in and I started taking the pills. They have switched my pills 5 different times now because my periods are very irregular.Igo anywhere from 5 days to 20 days at a time. Sometimes it is here for a week then gone then back for 2 weeks. My cramps are unbearable. Today I went to the doctor and now he says I have endometriosis.My doctors wont come out and say that the shot is the cause for these problems but they have hinted around it. They are worried that a lawsuit might come up. I will never advise getting the shot to anyone,and anyone on it better get off it before it is to late. Please include me in any lasuit that is brought against the people that produced this horrible drug. My address is 496 R.D. Floyd Rd Eubank, Ky. 42567 thankyou
