"after trying every single birth control besides the depo shot and the iud i decided to give the shot a chance. worst idea of my life. iv been on it for 8 months and i can&#039;t wait to never get my next shot. as soon as i got my first shot i noticed my appetite  increase. i was never full, i could eat all day. after i ate breakfast i couldn&#039;t wait for lunch. all i wanted to do was eat and sleep all day. i called my doc and she said to give it 3 months. after 3 months i was depressed i hated my life and i couldn&#039;t stop eating. 6 months in i gained 21 pounds. i didn&#039;t want to wake up ever. i couldn&#039;t wait to get home and go to sleep after work. all i keep thinking about is suicide. i will never go on this birth control again."
