Is it weird to have depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) birth control with crazy side effect like depression and random crying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: The Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injections are a hormone called progesterone. A few women who are sensitive to Progesterone and can get bloating or water retention or mood swings. So feelings of depression might be from the Depo-Provera provera. However depression and crying may have everything to do with other life issues. Speak with your doctor to help figure this out. Depression is important to treat.
