Depo injection side effects

I'm just wondering if anyone had any chest pain, muscle weakness, mental distress whilst the depo injection was wearing off. I had the worst time of my life 4 months after my first and only injection. I do not know if it was the cause, but I'm interested to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar? I truly thought I may have died as I had muscle spasms for 10 days, and mainly in my chest, and I've never felt that kind of weakness. Let me know your experiences.

    I was on the depo injection for about 3 months. Had slight weakness but came off it due to mental distress. The mood swings were horrendous, I was irritable 24/7 and was constantly arguing with my boyfriend because little things set me off. A couple or so after my last one I felt back to normal.
