what are the long term side effects of depo provera? . i used depo provera as birth control for several years now. i started when i was 19 and love that i have no period. i stopped for about a year and tried the patch which i didn't care for. when i got back on the depo i gained a bit of weight. my symptoms include fatigue muscle soreness and weakness high blood pressure and weight control issues. most of the fat is around my waist i believe the hormonal cycle may be effecting my health a lot and need to know my other options. (now 29)
