I have an an extremely bad experience with Depo Provera, mood swings were just one of the many problems. Start talking to your Doctor now about it right away. This was my experience:
I've been off the Depo Provera since 2000 and my hair still hasn't grown all the way back. I lost about a 1/4 inch along most of my front hair line. The rest of my hair came back and is thick and strong, but the hairline is awful compared to what it was. In addition to the severe hair loss, I gained over 40 pounds, 20 while taking Depo and 20 after coming off. I never had a migraine before Depo and during use and for the first year after being off it, I had severe migraines at least once a week. My skin itched like I wanted to rip it off and I was hot all the time. I would get extreme vertigo with no warning. Just try staggering at work or while in the pharmacy and not look like you had a drinking problem! A little over a year after coming off the Depo Provera, I developed two serious blood clots one after the other. The cause was never completely determined because I had not been on birth control of any kind for over a year and my blood tests were normal. I finally had a rib removed and the clots stopped, but I will contend to this day the Depo had at least a little something to do with it. About the same time as the blood clots, I started having severe cramping and a year into it, my doctor found pretty severe endometriosis. With the resulting depression and the lack of sex from Depo you may not have to worry about getting pregnant because you won't want to have sex anyway. I know some people do just fine with this birth control, but it's not worth the chance. It takes upwards of 6 to 8 months for the effects to wear off and sometimes longer. My hair has never grown completely back along the hairline and I am having a hair transplant at a tune of $5,000.00 to fix it. I am only 35! I can't wait until Depo is researched more deeply and to someday find out what else this drug did to screw up my system. They ought to be ASHAMED!
I got the (copper) IUD (since I can't use hormones anymore due to future clotting risks). My insurance paid for it. You still get your period, but it's worth it. Sorry to have to say this, but our bodies are made to have periods unless we are pregnant. If you force your body into an unnatural state, it WILL fight back!
Good luck and take care of yourself.

I think it varies for people, I was on it for 5 years (just had my last one as they have found that being on it for more than 2 years at a time now can risk brittle bones) I didn't put on weight and have actually managed to lose a lot of weight while I was on it. I found that although my periods stopped after the first few, I was still getting mood swings but I was also getting period ains so I put it down to that rather than the Depo. Be careful with how long you are on it, I wouldn't necessarily say get off it but many factors can determine the side-effects. As I say, I was on it for 5 years and haven't got less bone density, even though I was told that as a vegetarian I would have increased chances. Your doctor or wherever you will get it from will be able to advise you further but as for the mood swings and feeling stressed, try chatting to your partner about the problems you are having and see if they carry on if and when you sort it out.

yes the shot will affect your moods because of the hormones in it.....I had severe mood swings when i was on it...that is one of the reasons i quit taking it.....i also experienced severe weight gain and loss of libido.....and I have weak bones now because of the shot......get off that stuff and use a different kind of birth control.
