I've been on Depo Provera for the last four years. My last shot was in June, I decided to stop taking it. Does anyone have any experience with coming off of birth control and perhaps having any appetite/energy changes?

    I was two months late on my last depo shot and the only change I noticed was maybe I started losing weight a little faster. But I also took up exercise so maybe not.

    I came off of the pill about 2 years ago after a decade on it and I didn't see a significant change. The only issues I had were worsened PMS symptoms and some ovulation bloating, but no overall changes in energy or appetite. I lost at the same rate on as off. Coming off Depo may be a little different.
