Headache/fever after depo

I have posted messages regarding going off depo as of 7/16/04. Ever since I have noticed that during the afternoon I have been getting slight headache and also a fever. Almost like coming down with a cold or something. I was wondering if this could be a reaction. Also my appetite has decreased immensely. I have eaten a little becuase I know I need to eat but I really feel no hunger at all. My routine is too eat a little meal every few hours but now I am just not hungry at all. I will eat a little thinking that might be the culprit as well.

I had BAD reactions to depo! I would get the shot then immediately throw up afterward, felt like crap, broke out in hives - and then it would get better after a few hours - but the first few days my apetite was down and I also felt cold/fluish!

They immediately took me off the pills because it wasn't normal to have those reactions! (I was allergic to it!) I'd call your doc asap and let them know what is going on!

Wait - are you on it now and thinking about getting off of it, or are you off of it and experiencing these symptons? I think I read your post wrong and I couldn't find the one you referenced...

Hmmmm I don't know - but I am thinking it could be some type of withdrawl? I just know depo was not good to me - so I am thinking you are just going through withdraw. You may wish to ask your doctor if that could happen??? I'd be curious as to what they said! Keep us posted!
