"i am currently laid in a ball in absolute agony after stopping the depo 2 weeks ago. i started it in october 2015 and the first 9 months were fabulous. on approaching my 4th injection i started bleeding, nothing major but it was constant and i have been like this for the last year. i have maybe 4 days a month of not bleeding. gp has put it down to stress. i have put on 2 stone since starting it, contrary to gp&#039;s belief that i am eating too much and not exercising enough and i feel utterly miserable...

however,  nothing compares to coming off it... excruciating and constant headaches that feel like a permanent hangover,  nausea,  extreme hunger, skin so oily that my head is covered in but the bleeding is something else. 

just don&#039;t start."
