I had a lot of physical and emotional problems due to depo. Also gained about 100lbs. That sucked. But amazing, getting off of it and getting back to myself has helped. The only nice thing was not having my period.. but I was on it for two years and it took just about a year to get out of my system once I stopped taking the shots. I wouldn't advise anyone to start taking it, no matter how awesome it may sound.
As far as provera, I've heard a lot of good things about it. I personally just got tired of meds to regulate my body.... side effects suck.
