Symptoms from Depo-Provera shot

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?

@colleenyoung hi yes I spoke with the doctor who gives me my shots about the symptoms I was feeling and all he told me was there is nothing that can be done to stop these feelings unfortunately and that all that he recommended is to walk on the treadmill or run on the treadmill as it will help ease out my anxiety. I did mean to ask is nausea a side effect? Also I’ve noticed only my left side of my body tends to get super shaky and trembling and I do at times feel tightness in my chest is that a normal symptom of the depo shot?
