Depo Experiences

I'm wondering if this injection is the reason to some symptoms I've had on and off since having this injection about 8 years ago... things that are weird, fuzzy head, nerve things, anxiety - I can't remember the exact time line ... but after a few months of having the injection this time the symptoms have come back ... I'm wondering if it's causing some weird build up of hormones making symptoms or what the hell it is - I've switched to the mini pill now ... but is that the same hormones?

Mini pill is also progesterone only but has a different hormone to the depo. Which mini pill is it?

Cerazette I think it's called, I did want the implant but stupidly said I might want another kid in a year and of course they last 3 and the NHS want to get their monies worth!

Depo made me bleed and put on tons of weight whereas cerazette stopped my periods and didnt affect my weight

I think I put on a bit of weight with the depo and I had weird bleeding for about 3 months but then nothing- only been on this pill a week so not sure what this will do yet!
