Has anyone been on depo for more than a year and then stopped?

I'm just scared to come off of this thing, but it's making me sick and I think my hair is falling out. I'm petrified that my endo will grow if I stop taking this shot, but I also hate how I feel now. I am thinking of going back onto the Ovcon 35. I was on that but then I was in pain and my doc and I both thought it was endo so she put me on the depo, but then we found out that the pain was caused by IC. VEry complicated, but in a nutshell, I don't think I need to be on depo, but on the 3rd month I start to feel sick and I get crabby and I feel like I'm going to throw up. I hate this feeling, not to mention how tired I am all the time. I've been told that depo depletes your B vitamins which can lead to fatigue, but I just found that out after being on this damn shot for 2 years and I'm ready to come off. I'm also scared to tell my doctor becuase she's been a real jerk lately and she told me that I should always listen to what a doctor says and to not be "so granola". Please let me know what to expect. How long before you menstruated? Aslo, were your periods really wierd once you did get it. Were you in a lot of pain? Basically, what was your experience coming off of depo? Thanks a lot!!!!
