@chrisie23 - According to this, Depo-Provera does not cause panic attacks, but if you are taking anything for anxiety even over the counter you should let your doctor know.

Was it your choice to take this injection, or did your doctor encourage you to do so? It seems it’s very new and it’s effectiveness is not proven although it seems to be a convenient alternative to the pill form.

I have never had panic attacks, till this. So no I was not taking anything for axiety or stress. Depo-provera does cause axiety which can lead to panic attacks from the research I have been doing. What is odd is that I had an echo cardiac panic attack within 2.5h of taking the second shot.
