Question: I have recently gotten back on birth control , the depo shot, & on day 6 of it. I have been getting massive headaches even Tylenol can't help with. Neck stiffness and fatigue. I've taken depo in the past when I was 18. I am 25 now. I don't remember experiencing such side effects. Is this common or should I really seek help. I'm in alot of pain. Plus sick to my stomach due to the headache.
