You really should stop taking that stuff I
think they shouldnt even offer it anymore
I bleed for 6 months straight and my mood
changed alot towards my boyfriend thank
god he is still with me. You really
really should consider another form of
birth control

I live in nc too :)
i reccommend another type of birth control
too! There are many options, and my
favorite is the iud. The iud is non
hormonal, so no mood swings, and is
effective for 10 years :) !!! There is
one that is hormonal(mirena)
the iud is an excellent choice if you want
very very effective birth control without
worrying daily or monthly.

Thank You So Much Posted: 01-31-06 18:18pm
I don't think it should be allowed anymore
either...If it would work the same (great)
for everyone then it would be worth
it...
Crazyness- what did you do to help with
your emotions with your boyfriend? Mine
broke up with me but missed me but still I
can't live like this...

Girlieracerk – the only thing you can do
is definitely stop taking depo. Try
something that has estrogen in it so you
can get back to normal. My problem was
that I was unable to please my boyfriend
in my head because we were not able to
have sex. So I was very angry and taking
it out on him saying things like “you
want to leave me for a girl who can please
you” and everything like that. I fought
with him constantly but he did stay by my
side until I was back to normal. You said
you also had a baby, congratulations by
the way! That’s so awesome! The only
thing I did was stop taking the depo- but
you will not go back to normal right away
you have to give yourself time and let
your hormones go back to normal. There is
nothing actually wrong with you, it’s
the drug messing around with your
emotions. Your boyfriend should have
understood this, birth control fools your
body into thinking its pregnant so of
course you will be a little more
emotional. I think that it was a very bad
mood for him to leave you for that reason.
I don’t mean to be rude but a real man
would not leave you because your
emotional, he should have tried to be
more understanding and try to work with
you more, while I had no sex drive, we
still had sex we just would use
lubrication and it worked. You sound like
a really smart girl, if I were you i’d
ditch the depo and ditch the guy at the
same time. They both seem bad for you! I
hope I helped take care and good luck with
the baby!
:d

Hi,i came of the depo for the same reason
I have two small children and that stuff
made me feel mental, I would have sweats,
and be really bad tempered it really
scared me, my friend also came of it last
year april 05 and still has not had a
period it seems to take a long time to
come out of your system I think that stuff
should be banned

Although I can't speak from experience, as
I have not taken depo, I only hear bad
things about it. I know two girls who got
pregnant while on depo (and they were not
due for another shot or anything).
Additionally, my fiance's best friend was
with a girl for about 2 years when she
switched from pills to depo, and she
became extremely moody and just irrational
towards her boyfriend - however, her sex
drive went through the roof! They would
have sex at least twice every day (tmi
maybe, sorry!). They eventually broke up
after 2 more years.
