    I'm sorry to say it but there's nothing you can do until the 3 months are up and it's out of your system, then I'd advise you to come off it and opt for another alternative to the pill if it really doesn't suit you. The reason being that I was on depo for 4years and in that time I put on about 2 stone, even though my diet/exercise regime hadn't changed. When I came off it my periods were irregular for nearly a year - I could go months without anything.

    If it's affecting your mental wellbeing then that's just as bad as the physical side affects stated above, I really do think you're better opting for something else. I was like you, head like a sieve, but it's really not worth it; you can easily train yourself to remember to take a pill a day if needs be, especially when it's going to stop an unwanted pregnancy.

    I'm only talking from personal experience though, what you really need to do is get proper medical advise from your doctor.
