I haven't experienced diziness or a noticable decrease in sex drive.
I do find that the less sexually active I am, the lower my drive is.
Maybe you and your SO can focus on taking time to be more sexual. It
might take some more effort on his part to get the fire going :)

I also gained about 30 lbs on depo That was my wakeup call. I was too
skinny before starting depo so I wasn't concerned about weight gain,
I just continued my poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. I
have been exercising (30 min of cardio 5-6 days a week and weight
training and pilates 3 days a week) and doing Weight Watchers and I
have lost 13lbs. I want to lose 3-5 more lbs and then I will be back
at my "ideal" weight. So the weight *is* manageable.
