Hi,



In my opinion your symptoms are indicative of the side effects of depo shot & Buproprian; you can talk to your treating doctor so that you are prescribed with some other substitute medications that suit you better and you are more comfortable.

Meanwhile, eat boiled food, take soups, ORS/juice, keep yourself well hydrated. Avoid oily food, dairy products and take small meals frequently.

Get liver functions tests done to rule out any developing pathology in the liver as the side effect of many drugs is liver damage. Stay away from stress & anxiety. Take care.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,     

Dr. Nupur K.
