I'm beyond mad and beyond horrified. The first time I had the shot I was diagnosed with everything from anxiety attacks to manic depression. My mother had the sense to fight me to get off all medication. I did but the damage that year I was abroad was incredible but I was in a tough place and many things did go wrong so it was logical to be depressed and not coping.
I gained 14 clothes sizes and I lost most of it but still look pregnant. The times I did take the shot jobs, school, relationships and my life all came crashing down. I have no energy and I hide from everyone. I usually am so social I have to plan all my social activities jus so I can keep up with my friends. I have back problems, migranes, weight gain and a foggy head. My thinking is just not clear and I even have to write daily activities down. I have hair in places I never imagined. The wait to get of the shot is the worst. I pray and I'm patient, I work out eat healthy use herbs and now I'm adding a few things to the routine. I feel better but only a few hours at a time but at least I can fight not to let it ruin my life over again. History is repeating itself. I feel grateful to have found this information. If it was not for my partner yelling at me to go to a doctor who knows what is going on (been bleeding for 4 weeks) I don't think I would ever have noticed. I have lost so much to this drug I feel even if I sued it would not even come close to what I lost. I'm fortunate to have been able to rebuild my reltaionship with my family and my life with the help of support and the church but I am speechless. So much damage such a small shot. I pray the remaining two months will pass without as many problems since now I know what I have. Poison. I'm also sick and tired to reading posts from people who love the shot. There is nothign more important than my health and if somone will not take what I say seriously then at least I can honor how I feel and look after me.
