Brief Answer:
I strongly suspect the depo shot to be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I understand how you must be feeling, but quite honestly the most likely cause for your presentation is the depo shot itself.

I am sure your doctor must have explained about the listed side effects, and what you can expect whilst on the depo shot, and sadly one of the most common side effects is what you are experiencing, among others.

If at all this is troubling you too much then you should speak to your prescribing doctor and find an alternative that best suits your requirements and also with minimum to no side effects that can bother you.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
