A member asked:
I took the depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) birth control shot about 10 months ago and never took again after that, i've had horrible effects since, what should i do?

Depends.: It depends on what side effects you're having. Spotting or bleeding is probably the most common complaint. This can usually be treated with low dose estrogen. Any symptoms that you are having that are related to Depo-Provera will eventually wear off. You might check with your doctor to be sure that there are no other issues. Hope this helps.
