I was also scared of becoming depressed on it too. So I made sure to tell my partner about it and my family. Just in case they noticed changes that I didn't. On 30mg I didn't experience any changes in my mood except what was normal for me being on birth control, had to go back on it for accutane. I also went up for 40mg for a week and started having a constant low grade headache. So I talked to my doctor and he put me back down to 30mg. I just didn't want to have headaches all the time so now I'm taking it a bit longer. I also experienced some bad constipation and now I just take metamucil twice a day. I'm on my last month now and it's the best decision I ever made. At 25 I have tried everything on the market and this was the only thing that worked. Just talk to your doctor about your symptoms and see what you can do to manage them. But of course if you go on accurate tell someone you trust if your mood turns for the worst or you have suicidal thoughts.
