I'm so sorry you are going through this. (men look away)
I went through something similar several years ago. I was starting menopause really early (34) and having very heavy periods too frequently. So I had several procedures to check things out and remove a polyp and then they put in a Mirena IUD with the hope it would stop my periods or at least lessen them.
Unfortunately all it did was give me somewhat lighter periods every 2 weeks and nearly made me kill myself. I was suicidal and a psychiatric train wreck within days of that thing going in and never thought to blame it because my gyn and pdoc had agreed that there was so little hormone I'd be fine (I'm sensitive to everything and had a bad experience with birth control pills in the past so they were cautious). I was a mess for 9 months and then went back to my gyn. We decided to remove it and see what happened.
Within a few days I was much better. And between my pdoc and gyn they found several other cases of the same problem in a matter of weeks once they knew it could happen.
I wound up with a hysterectomy and while I completely understand why that wasn't the first step in someone my age it was the best thing ever.
I hope it leaves your system quickly and that you get meds adjusted to cover you until the shot is gone.
