Depo-Provera injection

I used this just for ease I can be forgetful so it was a safe contraception for me. I used this for 8+years and didn't realise how bad my mood had gotten and my skin too. Finally came off the injection so much happier had to eventually have other treatment for my skin. However other friends have had a positive experiences.
