Anyone taken Provera???

Question

I'm taking provera cause i havent had a period in 6 months. Almost everyday i've thrown up once...in the morning in the evening whenever im always nausated. I take my pill everday around 1 or 1:30 in the afternoon with something to eat. So I really dont think it's the medicine. I cry everday...I feel literally like a emtional puking wreck! Did anyone else expereince this while taking Provera?? I was going to get a pg test but my freind told me that that was stupid because i was just at the dr thursday. He didnt do a pg test on me. However he did do a pap smear. If i was only like a month along would he have felt it?? i dont know i'm just confused!

Answer 1

Go take a pregnancy test. I know plenty of ppl that have went to a Dr. for a routine pap smear and a couple weeks later find out that they were 1-3 months pregnant. You have all the classic symptoms. I have took Provera before and I never experienced what you are going through.

Monitor your symptoms VERY closely. Depo Provera can be dangerous.

Someone on that sight had this to say...
"For all of you women out there that have been getting the shot for 2+ years and your doctors are still giving it to you I would consider speaking with them A.S.A.P. due to the FDA now states that unless medically necessary no one should be on the DEPO shot more than 2 years.

Below is straight from www.depoprovera.com

NEW YORK, November 18, 2004 -- Pfizer Inc today issued the following statement concerning additional prescribing information for DEPO-PROVERA® (medroxyprogesterone acetate injectable suspension), a long-acting injectable contraceptive:

Pfizer has worked closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has begun alerting healthcare professionals and patients about revised labeling for DEPO-PROVERA regarding the potential for bone mineral density changes in women and adolescents.

The primary change is the addition of more prominent wording in a boxed warning noting that women who use DEPO-PROVERA may lose significant bone mineral density. The revised labeling further notes that bone loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible and that DEPO-PROVERA should be used as a long-term birth control method (e.g. longer than two years) only if other birth control methods are “inadequate.”

What they are saying is that you should not be on this for longer than 2 years. Please, please, please women if you are trying not to get pregnant please stop taking depo and try something else. What will it hurt. Speak with your healthcare provider about another method. If your health care provider is anything like mine was they will not warn you about this and continue administering the shot."
