I've never been on the shot, nor do I know how it will react with your other medications but there is a huuuuge red flag sticking out at me.
Were you warned that depo causes documented weight gain? (http://www.brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Health_Education/sexual_health/ssc/depo.htm) It's not much - generally 2 pounds per year which is practically water weight. However, with a history of anorexia and other mental disorders besides (which I'm sure do NOT help) I'm worried about what may happen to your mental health if you find yourself gaining weight.
If you find yourself struggling with your eating disorder again due to the shot, I STRONGLY encourage you to find a different method that works for you. I had a good friend with bulimia in high school so I have a good understanding of how awful EDs can be and I want you to not have to suffer through that anymore if you can help it.
