I am 40yrs old and have been on Depo-provera for 10 years. I suffered from the age of 14 with severe PMT (yes it does exsist)! I tried everything from Oil of Eveing Primrose, Vitamins, Diet, Herbal you name it I tried it, I even seen a shrink cos my doctor thought it was all in my head. The only time I did not have PMT was the week I had my period, that week I felt great. Then a new doctor suggested Depo-Provera and believe me it changed my life and my husbands. Almost straight away my periods stopped (which is OK) and my PMT went, I feel fab when I've had the inj, I feel happier and have more energy, I gained weight but not that much. The problem I have always had is that when the injection is wearing off (11th week) I get the severe PMT ,raging headaches, depressed, moody. I know this must be a hormone imbalance but no one is wiiling to help me or send me for tests etc, I want to stop the injections but can't bear the PMT. Can anyone suggest what I can do or who I can see
