As a teenager I was diagnosed with clinical depression and up until one year ago I was on
and off various anti-depressants. Things fell apart when I was feeling depressed,
and the my medication level was raised. I was on cymbalta 60mg a day, and was moved to cymbalta 90mg a day. I believe that caused a huge increase in suicidal thoughts, and I began to abuse oxycontin, whenever I could afford it. It was the only the thing at the time that allowed me to escape the thoughts of suicide.
