Unpredictable: The bleeding patterns with depoprovera are unpredictable. For some in takes the period away. For others it causes irregular bleeding. There is no "normal" for Depo-Provera users. The longer you are on it the higher the chance of no periods. Annoying but not dangerous.

Watch-out!: While it seems convenience, for BC and stopping your periods, Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) has been associated with many adverse effects.I have seen severe mood swings, emotionality, insomnia, and even hallucinations and delusions. Remember that hormones are one of the main regulators of neurotransmitters like Serotonin/norepinephrine. If you are having some of these Symptoms discuss alternatives with you Doctor.
