"well i&#039;ve been on depo for almost 8 years now, and the only benefit is i have no &quot;that time of the month&quot; but i&#039;ve had major weight gain, no sex drive, and i break out more then i have when i was in high school! it&#039;s a good birth control, but this last shot i had is my last. not good for my health, you would have to try it yourself and see if anything happens to you. i suggest watch it closely."
