> The magnesium I am taking is magnesium oxide.
I would definitely get another kind of magnesium. See this post: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030306/msgs/207021.html
Magnesium aspartate, and magnesium glutamate are contraindicated with depression, btw. Mg glycinate and mg taurate are probably the most calming because of the amino acids they're chelated with. Mg citrate is good, but I found it to be one of the more diarrhea-inducing types, as opposed to mg malate, which I like better, but maybe that's just me.
> By the way, when I started getting sick after the Depo shot, I started doing research and came across the site you indicated as well as others. It is astounding how many women have suffered on that drug.
It's not surprising considering it's just synthetic progesterone. Did you find ideas about what might counteract the effects? I took some progesterone, after all the hype about it, but it was the wrong thing for my body type. At least I could just discontinue it and feel better. You are stuck for 3 months or longer.
> I learned that it is used in the prison system on sex offenders and pedeophiles. Nice eh?
I have never heard anything good about it actually, especially in the feminist press.
