I know this thread is old but I could really use some help. I got the depo shot almost 4 weeks ago because my pre-menstrual and menstrual symptoms were getting out of hand. I decided that depo would be a good option because I wouldn't have to take a pill every day and it would resolve my period issues. However, since then I have turned into a completely different person. I have been in a happy, stable, trusting relationship for 14 years and I have suddenly become EXTREMELY anxious, suspicious, and paranoid about him and everything he does. Even though he's doing nothing differently. I am not a crier but I have cried every day for the last 2 weeks.
I went to the emergency room 2 nights ago because my heart rate was 170, sustained. About a week and a half to two weeks after gwtting it, my heart rate began to elevate to about 110, 120 all day long, until it ended up at 170 and landed me in the hospital. My blood pressure has been spiking.
I followed up with my pcp and they gave me propranolol to help with my heart rate.
I NEVER ever had these issues until this shot. I have never been an emotional wreck, I have never been suspicious of my fiance, I feel insane.
I just needed somewhere to vent. I feel like this was the worst decision I have ever made. I can't believe I have 2 more months of feeling like this. I haven't felt this out of control, sad, alone and unsure since I was a teenager. This is a nightmare.
