Hi I am 29 years old and just had the depo shot. I feel awful I currently take ambien at night 10mg, klonopin 1 mg a day and vicodin when needed. I feel dizzy, tired, headache anxious shakey. Is this normal? I also smoke but don't drink alcohol. Please help

The shot is a hormone shot, it shouldn't affect you like that. Go to your doctor QUICKLY, if not an urgent care, or ER. I am assuming your doctor knew about the other medications before he gave you the shot?

Give your doctor a call as CravenMorhead suggested. Depo is one form of birth control, that while effective, can be pretty harsh during and after use for some women. Personally, I don't think women are often given enough information about using Depo Provera.

Taken from the Mayo Clinic:

Side effects of Depo-Provera may include:


Abdominal pain
Acne
Breast soreness
Decreased interest in sex
Depression
Dizziness
Headaches
Irregular periods and breakthrough bleeding
Loss of bone mineral density that may not be completely reversible
Nervousness
Weakness and fatigue
Weight gain

Consult your health care provider as soon as possible if you have:


Depression
Heavy bleeding or concerns about your patterns of bleeding
Pus, prolonged pain, redness, itching or bleeding at the injection site
Severe lower abdominal pain
Serious allergic reaction
Signs of a blood clot in your leg, such as persistent pain in your calf
Signs of a blood clot in your lung, such as coughing blood, sharp chest pain or sudden shortness of breath
Signs of a stroke, such as a sudden severe headache, problems with vision or speech, or numbness in an arm or a leg
Signs of a blood clot in your eye, such as sudden partial or complete blindness
Other eye problems, such as double vision
Signs of jaundice, such as yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes
Sudden onset of severe headaches

Hello I just got the depo shot birth control last week and I feel so weird. I feel dizzy out of it sweating, can't concentrate, anxious, tired, headaches and aches in my body. I am on ambien at night klonopin and bental for irritable bowel syndrome and vicodin when needed. Please let me know if this is normal and what I should do. I am very small and petite I weigh 100lbs and am 5'5 due to a fast metabolism. I really need advice about this shot I feel very shakey as well please help me understand why I feel this way or if I need to go to urgent care or if this is normal at first. I also had a abortion on the same day I got the shot because the pill wasn't working I got pregnant while on a low dose of birth control pill.
