birth control
"I have had 2 injections and am discontinuing the drug after 6 months. In my opinion it is just not worth it. I experienced extreme nausea for 2 or 3 days within the first 3 months of getting the injection. My periods came early and lasted 2 week. I had many anxiety episodes and mood swings. Nearing the time of my second injection I experienced extremely heavy bleeding for 5 days, (I'm talking new super tampons every 2 hours with a regular pad for inevitable leaks) and even fainted during this time. 6 months later and most of my symptoms have gone, but I've had my period since my second injection over 3 months ago. At least it has been effective in preventing pregnancy; the combination of these symptoms leave me with no desire for sex!"
