depo provera side affects and if there are any Canadian class action lawsuits against them?

Question

hello i was on the depo provera for 9 months i had been on it once before when i was younger i got off of it cause my husband and i wanted to get pregnant it took 3 years of trying to finally conceive with 1 miscarriage before that other than than no other side affects except for three months depression when i first received the shot but it went away.but my doctor put me back on it after having my child i have had hair loss, depresion, cramping pains heart palipitations, back pain, neck pain, anxiety very emotional i would cry for no reason, panick attacks and i am a very calm relaxed happy person i have been having 3 normal periods a month lasting 10 days i have also have 2 indents in the muscle in by butt check where i got the shot and now have a numbing pain down my leg i was totally fine and periods were normal after having my child it all started after talking the shot oh yeah it has been nine months since i have been off of it and i have also been having white milky nipple discharge and i stopped breast feeding a year and a few months ago i was just wondering could anyone please tell me if they have heard anything about a class action lawsuit against depo provera for these side effects they say these side affects are rare cases but i have read so many different woman's horror stories that pretty much are all the same so to me it doesn't seem to be as rare as they make it seem i also read that depo provera is used to castrate sex offenders if I would have known what i know now i would have never taken it sorry to write such a long post but a really think woman should not be using depo provera and i would really like to join a class action lawsuit if i can or if there are any or how to find out how to get one started i think it has to many woman that shouldn't have to just deal with the side affects the company should label that they are common side affects not rare. i hope this post has helped. I hope I feel normal again someday

Answer 1

Oh my god, I haven't heard of any law suit but I was on the depo shot as well. Came off it more than 3 years ago as My husband and I have been trying for a 3rd child (I had no problem falling preg with the last 2) Last year I finally fell preg then lost the baby when I was 12 weeks. The bub stopped developing at 7 weeks. I also had what I thought was milk even though it had been years since I had finished breast feeding my second. I got told it was a side effect. I never got depressed while I was on it and never had any problems till I came off it. Since then I get majorly bad mid cycle pains where my cervix really hurts when I have sex (Don't know if it anything to do with the depo but I was fine before hand) Had a laparoscopy done and they can't find any reason why it has taken so long to fall pregnant or why I lost the baby. I wish you all the best as I know I have gone through hell since being on it.
