I was on here saying that depo was great. I've been off of it now for 3 years
and I feel a lot better now. I was 137 when I started, I got up to 155 when I
finished it. I was pretty lucky with my weight gain too. One year I was able to
get down to 153 with a very hard work out program and that was still pretty
heavy for me. It really messed up my metabolism and I really wouldn't recomend
it. However, since you have been having problems with the pill, perhaps this is
the only road you should take. I will let you know that sometimes I had light
bleeding for a month and a half at times. I also had my period for 3 months
during my first shot, and both situations are very common for Depo.

I was finally able to drop the weight now, and I'm 132. I still can't eat what I
want but now I learned that eating healthier is better anyway.

Hi there. I am a 21 year old, average health, with major problems
with the pill. I have been on three different pills (Alesse,
TriCyclen, and Marvelon) and they have not been able to regulate my
period-I usually have my period for three weeks out of the month (not
straight through, it's more likea few days break and then it starts
again. My doctor thinks it might be the estrogen in my pill and
recommends starting Deop if the trial I'm on right now (Demulen)
doesn't work. But I've heard horror stories about huge weight gain,
depression, acne when taking Deop and I'm wondering if switching is
worth it.

Does anyone have any relevant experience/advice? I'd really like to
do away with the never-ending period but I don't know if I'm willing
to trade-off for these awful side effects I've heard of.

Thanks!
