@colleenyoung I too have felt these sypmtoms, do you believe that they will lessen? The very first day that I got the shot my body got super anxious and scared, it is day two and I had multiple mini panic attacks, usually when I felt them starting I was able to control myself but now I am very scared that these symptoms might just get a bit worse.

Hi, @svazquez_13, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Feeling anxious and scared and trying to control that is very hard. We are not medical professionals, but we can say, as @colleenyoung mentioned, that nervousness and depression are listed as side effects of the medroxyprogesterone (Depo-Provera) shot.

Have you had the opportunity to talk with your regular doctor about what you've been experiencing? If so, did he or she have a recommendation on either another form of birth control or how the possible side effects of the shot might be addressed?
