General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you were due the depo in April and would have likely had the injection in January, then it should not be causing any symptoms at this time.

The headaches, dizziness and loss of consciousness may be related to another condition and you may want to consider visiting your doctor for an evaluation.
Dizziness can be caused by inner ear conditions such as meniere's disease, BPPV and vestibular neuronitis. It can also be related to migraines, decrease in blood pressure on standing.

I hope this helps
