Anyone take the Depo shot and suffer from Chronic Fatigue. It is making my life VERY hard and I am praying it goes away quickly as the shot wears off.

Anyone with experience?

Hi Cathie, I'm sorry you're not feeling so well! Some women, under the influence of strong progestins like what is in Depo, do have problems with fatigue. I did when I was taking Triphasil (strong progestin, not as strong as Depo of course). If it is indeed related to the shot, you may just have to wait it out until the shot wears off for the normal you to come back, but hopefully it doesn't take too long.

Good luck to you!
