GETTING OFF DEPO
I HAVE BEEN ON THE DEPO SHOT FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND RECEINTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME REALLY SERIEOUS SIDE EFFECTS. I AM ONLY 25 AND AM REALLY GOING OUT OF MY MIND. FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE DEPO SHOT, I HAVE BEEN REALLY ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSED. TO THE POINT THAT THE ANXIETY IS MAKING ME NOT ABLE TO FUNCTION IN MY EVERY DAY LIFE. THE DEPRESSION MAKES ME CRY FOR NO REASON. I ALSO GET HOT FLASHES, NO SEX DRIVE, VERY TIRED. I TALKED TO MY DOCTOR AND WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND NEW FORM OF BIRTH CONTROLE AND MAYBE ANTI DEPRESSANTS. I DONT WANT TO TAKE ANTI DEPRESSANTS, I WAS NEVER AND DEPRESSED PERSON AND NOW I AM A MESS. ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS?
