Iam trying to lose weight
I am a 26 year old female and i am 5'2 and I deweigh 167 pounds and my doctor told me the last doctors visit that I still needed to lose 40 pounds even though 3he years ago I was 205 pounds so I have already lost over 40 pounds in years time. He wants me to get to 140 pounds. If anybody could give me some tips on how to lose the weight it would be great. The problem is that I recently decided to get on the depo shot and i am afraid that after I lost all this weight that I will gain it all back because one of the side effects to the depo is weight gain. I really don't want to gain all that weight back that I lost. How do I prevent from gaining that weight?
I also take adderall for adhd because I currently go to school and it helps me focus but it has also helped me lose allthat . My question is will the adderall counterreact the depo?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Depo shouldn't account for more then a 5lb gain, and only a minority of women experience that side effect. The majority of women don't gain weight on it. It's not a side effect that every woman experiences.
It's not worth stressing about. Focus on the same healthy eating choices that you would regardless of the shot, and you'll be fine. If you do gain all the weight back, then don't get the shot a second time, but it's probably wont have been shot that 'caused it anyways, because gaining 40lbs because of the shot is basically unheard of. That would be an absurdly rare reaction, if it's even possible at all.
As for drug interactions, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist, but I don't know of any issues with Adderall and Depo Provera. I'd be surprised if they had any effect on each other.
