I started taking depo about 2 months ago
and ever since then, its seems like my
mood has changed. Everytime my boyfriend
tries to initiate sex, I never want to.
And before getting the shot, that never
really was a problem. Is there anything
naturally that I can take that would boost
my mood? I read somewhere on the
internet that ginseng and dhea supplements
might help.

As far as ginseng goes there is no
concrete evidence supporting the idea that
it will increase sex drive and also there
is no quality control so you really dont
know what you are getting. Ginseng is
"known" as a cure-all so it may help some
with sex but may help others with
something else. Dhea has a better
outlook. Although it is most promising in
the anti-aging department there have been
studies where it increased sexual
excitement in post menopausal women so out
of the 2 this is ur best bet. But
personally my advice would be to just get
off depo. I was on it for 6 months and
although it is very convenient all the
side effects arent worth it. I mean I had
weight gain, depression, constant period,
and absolutely no sex drive. And the
longer you use it the worse these things
got. With each person it is different but
I have yet to meet someone who is truly
content on depo. I have heard nuva ring
is a really good option.
