"i&#039;m 17, so this applies more to teens.

i was on the depo shot. i had horrible effects, would tell anyone and everyone to stay away. so after my 9 month on it, i had a 2 month long period, incredible pains and mood swings, and it was all too much. i came off and went on lutera. it&#039;s beeen 3 weeks. i put on about 5 pounds, but so far i&#039;ve been working out and dropping it! the weight gain is fast and i&#039;m finding it easy to get rid of! my moods are much more stable which is amazing because it really makes a difference if you are in a relationship. so far i would recommend it."
