Uh, you already got pregnant by mixing birth control and diet pills....doesn't that kinda answer your question??

Definitely ask your doctor before you take anything.

DO NOT DO THAT, please. A healthier option for losing weight is to actually feed your body so that your organs will function at their optimal level. Diets do not work and pills are dangerous. I would recommend a nutritional cleanse www.SoYouWantToCleanse.com. I started this amazing program almost 5 years ago. I released 42 pounds quickly and safely - NATURALLY - and I have kept if off for over 4 years. There are better ways to keep your body healthy. You just have to ask.

OMG--PLEASE stop the shot! I friend of mine had to have a heart transplant because of Depo! She had massive clot issues that caused several strokes and caused irreversable heart damage...and this was proven too, not just speculation. Mixing diet pills with the shot is just a ticking timebomb :(

Talk to your doctor and pharmacist about drug interactions. I know antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of bc, other drugs might have the same effect.

I would talk to your doctor before using any diet pills, not just to find out how they will react with depo, but too see if they are safe for you to use at all. I used to take hydroxycut, and it caused heart palpitations, I could have easily have had a heart attack, and I was using them per the instructions, not over taking or anything. Just be very careful.
