depo shot

hi my question is about the depo shot

i had it done a few weeks ago I've had no side affects except I've got axaniety and OCD it's been very extreme the past week or so I'm not medicated could the depo shot be playing around with my symptom of axaniety and OCD? has anyone else experienced this on the depo shot?

thank you

Yes it can, I had a terrible worsening of my symptoms with hormonal contraceptives. Head to your doctor ASAP, you can't afford to go down hill over Christmas when there are no services.

YES! I had to stop in the end - I had Depo for 2 years and eventually had to stop because my anxiety was through the roof. Please go and see your doctor. You'll have to wait for it to wear off but they should be able to prescribe you something to counteract the effects of the Depo until it wears off.
