Is this middle-of-the-road on birth control???
Answers: I couldn't tell you based on my personal expierience, but one of my friends be on the shot, and she never expierienced any hot flashes. Your best bet however, would be to ask your doctor..
i have the shot and the side effects are
-weight gain
-headaches
-sore breasts
-nausea, abdominal discomfort
-nervousness,dizziness
-depression
-skin rash or spotty darken of the skin
-hair loss or increases hair on face or body
-increased or decrease sex drive.
hot flashes isnt in there but i have them my first month on it
.
Totally "normal" with depo. It causes profusely of negative side affects in the majority of women who are on it.
