Is there any medication that i can take to stop my spotting while on depo? also any way to lose wieght(gained over 10lbs on two months)?

Yes: You can change your contraception or add birth control pills. Weight gain is a common side effect of Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). Consider an IUD if these symptoms are bothering you.
