Thanks for the insight. I am ready to get off Depo. I hate what is doing
to me physically and emotionally. I am going to another doctor next week
for another opinion and we'll see where I go from there. I'm afraid that
once I get off this stuff I'll bleed constantly too. What kind of shots do
you have to get?
