Panic attacks following Depo-Provera birth control shot

Posted by chrisie23 @chrisie23, Aug 3, 2022

I started Depo-provera on the 1st of May. I have had a little bit of axiety but nothing unmanageable. 2 weeks ago just before I was due for my repeat shot I had a small panic attack, I didn't know what it was at the time and just took some stressaway and meds for my stomach. On the day I went for follow up shot I had 1 medium panick attack leading into a major one within 2h of having my shot. The doctor thinks I have panic disorder, is it possible that this is all because of the depo-provera?. Please help!!!

Hey, I’m not sure whether you wrote this response this year but I’m having the exact same thing on Depo. I’ve never experienced anything like this and feel completely horrific. Can I please ask how you’re feeling now? I’m desperate for this to get through my system, I feel utterly miserable and so anxious and paranoid. I also can’t stop crying. I just don’t feel like me at all.
