Hi,
I think that Depo shot can cause menstrual abnormality so there is nothing much to worry about this condition. I would suggest you have a course of Norethisterone tablets 5mg for 20 days and have a thyroid profile test and prolactin test done as these symptoms can be due to hormonal irregularities.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
