About 3 months ago I was put on the depo shot. However, I was also told by my doctor that I had gonorrhea. And was treated for that. I had my first period since being on birth control this month. My period is now off. But before and now I've been experiencing dark brownish discharge. Should I be scared?

No you should be scared I was on depo for two years and as soon as I was given the shot my period disappeared the brown discharge is just getting rid of old blood but should not be a concern. Basically it is your body's way to adjusting to you not shredding the lining in your uterus.
