A member asked:
I have been on the depo-provera injection for 2 years and want to come off due to too many side effects, what are any withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depot injections: There should not be any withdrawal side effects. However, you will have to transition to another medication under the supervision of your psychiatrist. Make sure you tell the psychiatrist which particular side effects you found to be most bothersome so that they can hopefully be avoided with the next medications that are prescribed for your condition. Best wishes.
