decapeptyl side effects?

so, I've had my second injection about a month ago, I can't stop eating, I'm constantly hungry, ive gained a stone, feeling fat and fed up. Everything is annoying me, things that shouldn't even bother me, like I have this uncontrollable annoyance to everything. has anyone else experienced this? I'm feeling so low, don't want to do anything and just generally sick of life. I don't think I'm depressed as I've suffered from depression and it felt a lot worse than this, I just feel fed up and can't seem to get out of it. Any advice is appreciated.

So sorry to hear you’re suffering. It’s bad enough without this. I can’t personally comment on the decapeptyl, but I did get the implant and then cillest, and both of them made me feel exactly like this. It’s horrible! You feel crap, so you eat, then you’re constantly hungry, and everyone and everything is annoying! I’ve yet to find any contraception which actually agrees with me, so I’ve not been on anything. It’s not ideal for keeping endometriosis symptoms at bay, but my mood is better as well as having a normal appetite.

Sorry I can’t be more help, I’d go back to your GP and explain how you’re feeling. I know there not the best but it’s worth a try.

Take care,

im so sorry you went through this also but I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Its helping with my endo so well, I haven't been in pain in months thankfully but I just can't seem to shift this mood. No other contraception helps as it all makes me bleed which leaves me in agony. I'm seeing my gynaecologist on the 25th so I will mention it then but I also don't want them to take it off me as its taken my pain away so I'm in a catch 22, but I'm ready to end my marriage the way I'm feeling which I know I would 100% even never consider, just seems to be hormones that I've never experienced before if this makes sense x
