Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Depo is a long acting injectable hormone. Due to long time use your body has got adapted to the hormone and the hot flushes and mood change are frequent problems with it's discontinuation.
You run the risk of getting pregnant anytime after stopping Depo.
If symptoms are troubling too much then you may tahe progestins only pills for 21days and wait for the periods to start.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
