This wasn't something that I was warned about. There's a chance that your side effects will be so severe that they'll make you unable to function. I got the shot the 28th of February and have been out of work since the 4th. I faint if I stay standing too long, as I am that light-headed. I have brain fog and dizziness. These are not side effects that I experienced on the pill. I'm guessing I'm a rare case, but hell I'd have said no if I saw anyone describe this as a possibility before getting the shot. I'm not anti-meds, and I'm going back on the pill once this nightmare is over, but I might be evicted over a shot. Please be warned and if you can manage taking pills, please stick to them. There's no way to undo the effects of the shot for the month it's in your system.
