"when i say this birth control screwed up my life, im not kidding. weight gain, terrible acne (never had anything nearly this bad as a teenager) and absolutely constant bleeding/spotting. there may have been one week worth of days out of the month with no bleeding. i wend back to the pill after 9 miserable months and almost instantly the bleeding stopped, and my face is so much clearer. just take a pill everyday depos effectiveness is not worth the stress and terrible side effects."
