But not for another 12 weeks.
I finally got my gynocologist to let me self inject depot by switching to Depo Sub-Q.
I’ve been on Depo Prevera for over 15 years. I went on it before I went into teaching. I’ve never had any complications except for the lack of period and PMS (and I don’t see that as an adverse side effect).
Both the doctor and I are concerned about bleeding and he wants me to let him know if that is an issue.
Since it is non-formulary and there is a generic version (but intra-muscular), it is actually going to be cheaper to get it at the retail pharmacy than it will from mail-order, we think — we being from my looking at the Medco site and my talking to a customer service representative.
So I have a script and it’s on my list of things to do in 4 weeks.
