"i had to write a review because most people go out of there way only to write one after a bad reaction, but everyone is different! i used depo for five years and loved it! skin was perfect, never gained weight (in fact, it seemed like i almost couldn&#039;t gain weight haha), and my emotions were totally level. i never had a period either. because it can effect your bone density, i decided to switch to another birth control. hated my life. i gained weight, had chronic fatigue, &quot;morning sickness&quot;, severe depression. (this was from nexplanon). i have since been off birth control and regulating my body. before i was on depo, i took the pill which made me so sick everyday. now that i&#039;m in a relationship, i&#039;m 100% returning to depo"
