I was on Depo for a good 7 years and then decided to give it a break with all the news of decreasing bone density. I absolutely loved it, but have heard a lot of women have had bad experiences like yourself. I never gained weight from it (any weight I did gain was my own damned fault *laughs*), I loved not having a period, no cramps, mood swings, breast tenderness etc. Anyways, I have been off of it for about a year and have just started getting my period back *scowls* I went on Alesse (pill) for most of the year and hate hate hate it so I just quit that too. I'm going to get a bone density scan and go back on Depo Provera if everything looks good with my bones. But other than the lack of a period I never experienced any problems stopping taking Depo, then again, I didn't have any bad experiences on it either. I just hate taking the pill. I hate getting a period, I hate the breast tenderness, and I find it tends to make me moody (well more so than usual haha). Good luck and I hope Yaz works out better for you than the Depo did.
