"i have been getting the shot for a little over a year now. at first i loved it. i never got a period, no mood swings, a little weight loss, it was amazing. the only thing i am considering switching for is that i got really bad acne. i asked the nurse that gives me the shot if that was from the shot and she said no it does not cause acne, but i never had acne like this before. other then that it was great."
