@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?

Hi, @svazquez_13 - here is some information on the Depo-Provera shot from Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/depo-provera/about/pac-20392204. Though I see abdominal pains mentioned as a potential side effect, I do not see nausea.

Hoping that @sabrinaperez08 @meowrightmeow @lisa3183, who have all talked about Depo Provera, will weigh in on whether they may have experienced anxiousness, panic, chest tightening or shakiness with getting this shot. @hopeful33250 may also have some thoughts.

I know that for me, I tried one form of birth control, the copper IUD, that did not end up being a fit for me, as I experienced out of control bleeding. I had to change to a different birth control. Is another birth control form possible for you?

If you are still concerned, @svazquez_13, is there another doctor you might consult for a second opinion?
