Hey guys I take Allesse... Did all my research on it beforehand since I was worried about the side effects, especially weight gain/water retention, and it is the best !! From what I've researched it's the one used by most actors/models because of the low percentages of people that did not gain weight on it.... as for the Depo, I would not recommend it whatsoever.. I know about 7-10 girls that have had it done and have gained a very large amount of weight..I'm not talking 5-10 pounds...I'm talking 20-25 pounds.. They have also experienced severe depression, accompanied with mood swings.... just my 0.02 cents.. ------------------ AIM vampienyc10 e-mail: vampie@aol.com
