"I'm 17, so this applies more to teens.

I was on the DEPO shot. I had horrible effects, would tell anyone and everyone to stay away. So after my 9 month on it, I had a 2 month long period, incredible pains and mood swings, and it was all too much. I came off and went on Lutera. It's beeen 3 weeks. I put on about 5 pounds, but so far I've been working out and dropping it! The weight gain is fast and I'm finding it easy to get rid of! My moods are much more stable which is amazing because it really makes a difference if you are in a relationship. So far I would recommend it."
