My Depo Story Brenda Krieger

I had my first and last shot back in the spring of 1999. I tried the depo in desperation after having continuous yeast infections from my Ortho Novum bcp. I got really, really moody. Like Jekyll and Hyde. For absolutely no reason I'd turn very angry. It would last for maybe half hour, then fine. This would happen several times daily. I also got this horrible itchy rash that Dr.’s couldn't identify. It took high doses of Augmentin to reduce the rash. I also had symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I was scheduled for a barium enema. As soon as the 3 months were up and the shot wore off ALL SYMPTOMS disappeared. When I mentioned that I suspected that the depo was causing my symptoms, my OBGYN got really, really pissed off. How dare I question his medical opinion? A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with PMDD. Not sure if this is the result of the Depo Provera or not...
