"i switched from a hormonal contraceptive to depo provera january of 2013, never had any problems (weight gain, acne, irregular bleeding) for the first year and a half and only bled about a week or two before my next shot was due. starting about 8 months ago i was bleeding almost 2 months before every shot and the last shot i received in march i continued to bleed 2 weeks after getting the shot. i also noticed an increase in extreme depression and anxiety. i have also spent the last 6 months dealing with breakouts (which i never had before) and an increase in keratosis pillars on my face (not sure if its related to a hormone imbalance). i would never recommend this shot to anyone."
