Gina,
My daughter just got her first shot and had no side effects. Her cycles were so terrible, irregular, heavy and too long. They told me that Depakote and Lamictal were probably causing the problem. It's been two weeks, and so far it's a really good thing for us. They say the most common side effects are facial hair and acne, and it doesn't necessary stop periods altogether.

My dear friends~My 10 year old daughter just started her period and her pediatric doctor wants to give her Depo-Provera Shots to stop her period. Have any of you used this and what side effects did you see?Sedona has always developed early, pubic hair and breast buds at age 5. Now her period. She is a clean fanatic and I know that all of this confuses her. You can't explain what is happening, because of the CAPD and I don't know if she can handle all of this.Any help that you can give would be great.Gina
