Pam,
I was on Depo for a number of year (7) with many side effects, weight
gain (lots), acne and severe bone loss. Given the bone loss i have had
to go off it. All of this said it controlled my symptoms very very well
and for that reason I am a fan. For me the pain was soo bad that any
side effect was worth it. It was the lesser of two evils for me...
