I have never got the shot for the simple fact that I had such a problem with the birth control pill. The main ones were my weight gain (especially because I had always been so small), the loss of sex drive, and the soreness of my breast. Just to touch them would kill me. After the bad experience with those my husband and I chose to just use condoms. Yeah they suck, and it feels 100 times better without them but there are no side effects with them either.
I would say that every person is different, and will react differently to the shot. Think how many millions of women are on the pill, I however was just one of the unlucky ones that couldn't take them. Your girl may get the shot and be fine like lots of women, or she might take it and have lots of problems, like many women. Try doing a lot of reasearch on it first.
I do know my sister got the shot once and never got it again. Don't know the problems she had with it, never asked but apparently it wasn't something she was to thrilled with either.
