I have been on this shot for almost 14 years minus the time i was prego, these symptoms have only been recently showing face. ex: ecessive sweating sleepiness anxious sensations of prego and i am always thirsty, the side effect i am experiancing show only in about 1 to 5% of women.

don't take it again...try a different type of hormone shot. I had the same problem but when i switched to ortho triciclin (sp) lo then I got tons better.
On depo i was constantly in a state of pms and i not only had a regular period but i spotted EVERY day for 6 months...keep in mind the shot only "lasts" for 3...so i'd talk to your doctor.
Reply to edit: no idea then...your hormones shouldn't be changing like that so suddenly when your body should be used to the shot by now. I'd just go see your doctor because it could mean more serious problems like a reaction to a sickness.
I think they have a way to reverse it but I'm really not 100%

Talk to your doctor and get off the shot.
Have you had a bone density test done lately? You should have one every five years you are on the shot due to how it wreaks havoc on your bone health.

Go talk to your Dr.about the problems you are having. He may decide to treat you with a different birth control method.
Good luck.
