Panic attacks following Depo-Provera birth control shot

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.

Hello @chrisie23 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. The timing and onset of the panic attacks does warrant concern so it is good you are researching and advocating for yourself until you are able to find a reasonable explanation.
You will notice I edited your post title slightly to bring in additional members to share their experience and also added this to the Women's Health Group for additional exposure.
Did you know of the potential for panic attacks prior to taking your first shot or did you come across that information after the onset of your first attack?
