I was on Depo x 14 yrs and experienced weight loss. I weighed 165 when started and was down to 145. I did not experience any periods, occassional spotting here and there. My main problem was small patches of hair loss in the back of my hair and I was starting to lose the thickness of my hair that made me stop the Depo altogether. You also have to take into consideration that everyone responds to the same drug differently, so you may or may not experience the reported side effects of the birth control. Google or webmd.com.

I am also on the DEPO and have been for about 2 yrs. When I started I did lose weight and was bleeding a lot for the first couple of months but then it started to get regular. Even sometimes now I will bleed a lot but then sometimes I don''t bleed at all. If it continues for more than 6 months then I would tell the DR at your next visit.

I had the opposite, I had massive weight gain and severe stomach problems. I got off the DEPO and 9 years later I am still having stomach problems. I had never had any stomach problems prior to taking it. I did not have hair loss or excessive bleeding. But I did experience major cramping and some months I skipped cycles.

All side affects of depo except for losing weight.
You are a lucky one to LOSE weight and not gain while on the depo shot.
There are many negative side affects of the shot. I had it for four years and am so glad I am OFF of it.

you should go to the doctor
when i was on it i gained weight and had No bleeding
and hair loss can come from not eating
do you have a eating disorder if so that could cause depo to have bad side effects.
I had an eating disorder also if you need help with this you can talk to me

weight loss??? I've never heard of that happening usually it causes an extreme weight gain, i was on the depo shot and only got 2 injections and i started to loss my hair and it stopped my period totally for a good year..no birth control is safe or won't ruin your bodies chemical balance, it's best to just stick to condoms or if it's for your period deal with the heaviness of it
