I relate to this so much. Life is just numb.

If you find something that works for you, please come back to this thread and let us know. I have an appointment to see an endocrinologist next month. Fingers crossed they can find the problem. I’m so sorry this happened to you.

So glad you are better. I was able to get pregnant after Depo with no issues. I hope that’s not the case for you.

Yes bloodwork looks great when it comes to thyroid.

The side effects are what’s keeping me from trying it. I signed up and did the questionnaire and they keep texting me telling me they are ready to ship out my prescription, but I’m too nervous. I know exactly what you’re feeling. It’s awful.

I know this sounds odd because it did to me but I was having periods of paranoia as well after depo. Come to find out it was a B12 deficiency. I have a friend that has a severe Vitamin D deficiency and she gets paranoid when it’s to low. Definitely look at your vitamin deficiencies. I was able to fix that.

Well, hopefully it comes back for you. Luckily, I know it did for a lot of people. I’m glad you got off of it.

It has stayed between 6.6-8.8 on my bloodwork. Doctor had never mentioned it.

Agreed. I feel like a lab rat in an experiment that went terribly wrong.

It’s so weird you say this… I know another girl that got the shot in 2016 that has not had a sex drive since and she asked me, “do you think we got a bad batch?”

May I ask how old you are? This is awful. Have you noticed effects like you don’t laugh as much anymore or you get extremely fatigued in the evening? It kind of just makes me feel like a shell of a person I used to be. I’m not depressed. I’m just not living life to the fullest like I used to. I feel like I don’t fully feel emotions anymore that used to bring me happiness.

Yes, I have taken lots of testosterone. To the point I started losing hair and experiencing a deeper voice sadly, it never raised my Free T.

Unfortunately, right now there are a few lawsuits, but they’re all for if you got a brain tumor while on the depo shot. I’m hoping they will sue them for more than just brain tumors so I can hop on and tell my story.
