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.

• Abdominal pain
• Acne
• Breast soreness

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

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.
