I got off the Depo 3 months in taking it...i gain alot of weight and really wasnt eating...i didnt have headaches tho...but i wouldnt recommend depo...there are many other birth control methods out there just dont stick to one..
p.s. after getting off depo i lost my weight...Goodl Luck
I think with the problems that seem to be associated with Depo that I would ask for an alternative, I am going to give my vote to the first answer you received, you can't get much more to the source of your symptoms than that! Hope it helps you!
