I was priscribed provera for frequent period 6 months ago. I only took provera for 10 days but I had bad side effects. I was not my self. I got extreamly scared of things. I was sweating, very fearful in public places. I threw up alot, couldn't eat, sleep or drink water. I had frequent irrational /bad thoughts. I was a good christian & after I got sick I thought I was possed by the devil. I confided in my mom & she didn't make things any better. She said I was a bad person & I am not going to be a good wife & a mother & my fiance is going to leave me if he found out. I had to go back to the Dr. for the side effects of provera. They gave me xanax & zoloft because I asked Dr.to give me zoloft. I took low doze & stopped taking them 3 months ago. But I still have frequent bad thoughts & I am depressed. Now I am married & pregnant. My husband is suportive & a good man. But I feel aweful for putting him through this. I didn't have mental problems before I took any medications.

Live and learn, taking synthetic hormones always carries a risk. If you are depressed why did you stop taking the zoloft, that is what it is for. Well you certainly don't make much sense in what you have written here, and I suspect that is because you are clinically depressed. Would suggest you talk to your gynecologist about treating the depression.

There are medications that can cause depression and/or anxiety as a side effect. Be sure to read the labels.

Yes..any meds can have side effects.
Sounds like you have certainly suffered from severe side effects.
Give yourself some time...it can take months to get all the 'poison' out of your system.
Thinking of you
