I also haven't gained any weight from it and the only side affect I have found is if I wait till the last day of the 13 week to get my next shot, I get terrible headaches..
Depo shots are only recommended for people with female issues and is only recommended for no more than 6 months or so. It can cause premature bone loss because you are in a menapausal state. Hotflashes, mood swings, the whole nine yards!! I was on it for 3 months and I know what it's like and there is no way a doctor will prescribe depo for 9 years.
