I noticed heartburn once I went up to 1500mg of met. It lasted a few
weeks, but now it doesn't happen anymore. For me, it was like other
side effectgs that went away with time.
We had a discussion about this a little while ago--do a search on the
archives for "heartburn" and you should find it. ;-)
I don't know about the depo! sorry!
