Question
I got my depo shot may 17th and its august and I know its wearing off. but I've been sick to my stomach, in between wanting to vomit But not vomiting and an empty stomach feeling, hard to explain. I've been feeling tired and sad as well.. I had my period for one day on moday very light. and since Friday i've been  feeling so weak and sick. I've also been having hot flashes and cold sweats Im  17 can you tell me why this might be happening?

Answer
Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor and I'm really sorry you are feeling this way. In my opinion, these symptoms could be side effects of the depo shot. The hormones could cause depression and other side effects. Can you get a check up with your physician? Please let me know what happens. I'm concerned about you. Please don't have the depo shot again and consider abstinence. You may email me anytime at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

Thanks.
