Yes, it's normal to have an unusual period when coming off Depo Provera. It's possible that the period has something to do with your lack of energy. If you're not getting 8-9 hours of sleep per night, you're probably not sleeping enough. If your fatigue continues for a couple of weeks, you may want to see your primary care provider for an exam. If your vaginal bleeding doesn't stop in another week, I'd call your gynecological health care provider for advice (or, call tomorrow, if you prefer). S/he may be able to offer you some suggestions or a prescription to help stop the bleeding.
