i gained weight and it did not help with my facial and chest hair

It worked, but I was not crazy about the side effects. I ate ALL THE TIME, and could never feel satisfied. Thus, I gained a lot of weight.

It helped with the painful periods but spotting continued.

first shot was 12/18/07. last shot 11/26/08 Over all it was great for pain but still had breakthrough bleeding and still minor cramping, I would do lupron again before depo.

went on it very early 18yrs old- as soon as I got off I became very depressed and gained a lot of weight, as my periods came back I became extremly crabby and emotional. So I went back on it and it worked to control emotions- my boyfriend sould always tell when I was due for my shot again. It works to control PMS, but I just went off it again because I don't think its healthy or natural, and yes- I am a mess of emotions

It worked for about 8 months.

After every injection it begins to help with the pain 3 weeks after injection and wears off 3 weeks before I can get next shot.
