@sabrinaperez08 I too have been experiencing these symptoms, I have been on depo for a little over a year and although I do no take medicine for my anxiety I do feel super nervous and shaky. I wish there was something that could stop these feelings because they make me feel super anxious and scared and confused, my doctor just said if I feel worse to go see my regular doctor to get medicine, just know you are not alone, I was going to stop being on the shot but iwent back on because my partner and I were not really good at practicing safe sex so I decided to just go back.

I took the depa shot over 17 years ago and I have such severe anxiety that I can’t even leave my home,, first I got the hives off of it then terrible anxiety to where I started losing a pound a day because my anxiety was eating my food! I went to Mayo Clinic And they did every test that could be done, finally the last test was a written test, after I finished the test the doctor threw the paper across the room because she was so upset that my primary doctor couldn’t figure this out, I was put on Xanax after that and they were bars and I was taking up to 25 a day and my anxiety had me still flying out of control, they also put me on remron to help me put weight back on, however I still needed something else besides Xanax because it wasn’t working and I was so tired of popping pills, then my doctor put me on Clonazepam 2 mg a day and I started feeling normal again as almost reborn!!! No highs I just felt like I did before I took that horrible shot, now after 15 years later my doctor took me off of them and I had to ween off but ended up right back where I started!!!! I don’t know what to do now!! Losing my weight and afraid of everything this anxiety is over taking my life and no Dr wants to help!!!! What do I do???
