"i have been on depo for 9 months now and i&#039;m pretty satisfied with it. i have had no bleeding problems, no weight gain, or any bodily pain. the only problem i have had with the shot is that i have *definitely* experienced mood swings. i am one of the most level-headed people i know and within the first week of being on the shot i was more emotional than i&#039;ve ever been in my entire life! i drove my family and boyfriend absolutely crazy. i eventually got accustomed to the hormones but even now, every few weeks i have days where i fly completely off the wall or just cry for hours for absolutely no reason. it happens infrequently enough that taking depo is still worth it.

this is definitely a &quot;your mileage may vary&quot; birth control."
