My question is that Im on Depo i havent been the best person and I haven't even been on it a month. But I keep havin these painful stomach aches, frequent urinaton, nausea, been really picking with the foods I will eat because if I dont have the taste for it I feel like vomiting but I never do I just had a period and it lasted for 8 days, before the shot I have a period for about 4-5 days. My lower backs hurts a lot and I sleep like crazy could this be the side effects of depo some are but what about the rest. The shot really isnt worth all these side effects

General Q and A Answer A3187
Frequent urination, stomach aches and lower back pain are not usual side effects of the contraceptive depo-shot. Instead, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and changes in the menstrual period could be side effects of depo-contraception. Unpredictable “periods” are the most common side effects of depo-contraception. If the “periods” are too heavy you can stop using depo-shot contraception. The symptoms you describe, however, could be due to a urinary tract infection. You can consult your gynecologist to follow up.
