How fast did Depo Provera work on you?

After my first injection I lost my sex drive and ability to get an erection at about the 2 week mark

For you did it take longer? or was it quicker?

Two weeks ish for me, I could still get somewhat hard but not like before and orgasms took maybe about 2 hours, assume that was a mental thing! I'm adding estrogen to this next trial.

I had to use 300mg and it took about 2 weeks to see much difference.

Hey Jessica, Was that x2 150mg shots in one go?

[JessicaH (imported)]

Yes. Ideal is 300mg IM then follow up with 150mg every 3 weeks. I wont touch the stuff anymore though because it is a nasty chemical that messes with other things including your natural progesterone in the brain, raises the LH levels which corespondingly raise cortisol levels which cause lethargy and weight gain. If I was going to do chem castration, I'd just go with CA>

CA = cyproterone acetate or androcur.

I never quite lose the ability to get an erection on DP, but I do lose the desire and the fantasies get to be less important. It tends to be around two to three weeks.
