These drugs were pushed so heavily and so many women (me included with Depo) jumped on the bandwagon. It wasn't until years later that people learned what the long term effects were and there were some really bad ones.

You are so right soror. I jumped on the Norplant ban wagon and gained soo much weight that I am still trying to get back to normal. When I went to take the dang things out the the moved out of the places they were suppose to be in. I had to go back 3 times for them to dig in my arm to get them out. So, I'm with you I need to see more info and about 10 years of trials before I inject myself or anyone else with anything.
