I had to write you, i was on Depo- Provera for 3 years , i do not like that medication , for starters while on the med , i didnt get my period at all , and thats common, i know alot of woman would say that there happy not to get it, but i think its healthy for your body to get your period, also once i stopped the depo i didnt get my period back for 2 years, Now my husband and I are trying to have a baby, i was on depo like 10 years ago, If you have any other questions about it just PM me, i was on it for a long time, i could prob answer some of your questions ,Sincerely Renae

Not sure if this helps, but most of these are side effects of Depo, there isn't anything wrong with you. These should subside as your body adjusts to the Depo. If these issue persist, I'd return to the doctor.
