I've been on Depo for five years it will be 6 in 2004. I haven't had any weight issues from it or mood issues so it's actually just right for me I think.

I don't know if the cramps are from food or not but they have nothing to do with BMs or even the time of spotting. They are usually in the morning when I'm sitting at my desk, after a shower, vitamins, and breakfast.
