Mood swings are a potential side effect of the injectable. But before thinking about switching methods think about what else in your life could be causing moodiness.
Still not working? The injectable is a hormone, so if moodiness is still an issue, think about using a shorter-acting, lower-dose method, such as the pill, patch, or ring. You could also try either type of IUD.
Try a different method: IUD, Patch, Pill, Ring.
