Depo Provera Horror Stories Please answer :):):)?

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

Well if you find a lawsuit going on e-mail me. Depo ruined my whole body. Unbelievable crap is all it is. I understand what you are going through. But go to a different GYN and get on a low dose pill to get back to normal. That's what I had to do. My GYN never warned me of a 20lbs weight gain. My doctor didn't warn me about HALF of the side effects. I should just as well sue her but oh well. E-mail me if you get anything on any lawsuits. I'm curious as well. E-mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

Yeah, I don't think that it is a good idea...seemed great at the time, but I put on about 40 pounds over 2 years, I didn't have 1 period as soon as I started and it took about 1 year after I stopped for it to return, and when it did....OMG look out. Also the emotional trauma, it almost destroyed my marriage, no sex drive....it was very hard on my husband and I.

Answer 3

Well if you ever get that law suit started let me know cause I'm on board. I have been experiencing pretty much the same side effects
