"i have been on depo for over a year now. my positives would be no period, easy and that&#039;s about it. however i will no longer be receiving this birth control. did you know that this same drug is used as a &quot;chemical castration&quot; for male sex offenders. they give it to them to drastically decrease their sex drive. makes you wonder what it does to women. for me it has done just that. i started receiving the shot right before my husband and i got married and i didn&#039;t even want to have sex on our honeymoon . it has seriously affected our relationship and that is why i do not want to continue the shot."
