I had just got a depo shot in december and I have had the worst symptoms. I started having severe acne suddenly and it?s painful. I did?t have acne before. And i?ve been on my period for two months now and my mood is horrible everyday. It?s obviously been over three months since my first shot and I want it to be done and over now. When will it wear off and finally stop?

Generally the contraceptive effect lasts for 3 months. All your complaints like Acne, agitation etc are known side effects of depo shots. It may take a few weeks more for them to wear off. If you are unable to bear any more of this consult online in private for medication in order to provide symptomatic relief for a few weeks.
