Re: I feel suicidal right now - Kat

[Guest guest]

Kat, What has said is very true. Not all people react the same way to any

given medication.

My mother is bi-polar and a doc had her on Prozac which isn't a good idea so she

began to take

medications that were better suited. I also was prescribed Prozac and took it

for two years until

things got worse; crying all the time with deep depression. I was informed that

it had a two year

burn-out that a lot of patients experience (they don't tell us that). I stopped

taking it

(tappering off under my docs care) and those symptoms went away. The doc put me

on Welbruitron

which worked much better. It is so hard sometimes when we are so deep in

depression to realize

what is going on. I have thought about suicide (how nice it would be not to

suffer) but never

actually considered doing it. My mother used to say that she wanted to drive off

the bridge and I

never understood until I became depressed myself. Please let your doc know how

you feel so he will

try a different medication to help you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
