Now, she has drastic mood swings, is hungry all the time, headaches, and all the bad side effects from this shot. Is there anything she can do, mainly for the mood swings and hunger. She doesn't need to gain any weight. Often these conditions can be excluded by pelvic physical exam, a blood count and ultrasound.
Treatment often includes hormones.
I would suggest considering a combination oral birth control pill that includes both estrogen and progesterone. A prudent diet and exercise is also advised to help offset possible weight gain side effects. I wish her well. Heather Orey Copyright 1998-2001 CME, Inc.
