Suggest Alternative Medication For Depo-Provera

Posted on Thu, 2 Jun 2016

Question: Is there a way to counteract depo-provera? Having mood swings and it's very scary. Waiting to here back from my doctor but I'm in a panic. I got the shot only a week ago. Not only am I having mood swings with trouble falling asleep then can't wake up when I do.

Brief Answer:
Cannot be reverted

Detailed Answer:
Hello man, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your problem as it is common side effect of depo.
I'm sorry to tell that it cannot be reverted back but you can take some mild tranquillisers to combat the effect.
I usually give tablet chlordiazepoxide two times a day but it is a prescription drug do you will not get it over the counter.
Take care
Regards
