Medroxyprogesterone
"Best birth control on the market. Please do not get discouraged by all these ridiculous stories. Not only have I suffered from severe anxiety, depression, panic disorder AND ptsd, but these were all BEFORE I started taking Depo-Vera. The shot did not make it any worse, it did not give me mood swings. Yes, you spot... But it's like the first day of your period. Oh my goodness... You get a little blood on your panties. LOL it's life. I'm a hemophiliac and this changed my life for the better. I no longer have periods even after going off the shot for a few months and I'm back on it now ( I've been on the shot for 5 years now) keep in mind this is an intramuscular shot so yes you will have pain the day after and even maybe the next."
