To combat the suicide thoughts I took clonazapem, Im at 1mg 3 times a day, and thankfully its taking away the suicidal thoughts. Should I stop taking the wellbutrin? Ive been on it for a week. I hear all this bad stuff about clonazpem but its the only thing keeping me going. Will clonazpem stop working on me if I continue to take it 3 times a day. Please don't tell me clonazapem will lose its effectiveness. I don't care if I have to keep increasing my dose, my anxiety is really bad.
When someone is truly suicidal and not just saying it to get the attention he needs, all bets are off for us amateurs. At that point, medication is necessary because a quick fix is necessary to stabilize the person before he does commit suicide. Normally, none of these drugs are particularly good for a 15 year old and were never approved for use for them, as the brain is not yet fully developed.
My doctor switched me to Effexor (150 mg) and it really helped with the sadness and suicidal thoughts. But not with excess of sleep, tiredness and total lack of concentration (while reading or having a conversation with someone, my mind just wonders everywhere but where it is supposed to be). My doctor gave me Ritalin (40 mg a day) and it helped a lot with this problem.
I know I should talk to someone but I don't want my parents to find out and add to their stress. They are having financial issues because of the economy and I feel like all I do is make things worse for them. I don't know what to do... I'm probably ging to end up doing what I've been doing and just act like I'm fine and happy.
I have been suffering from suicidal thoughts for about five or six months i also suffer from major depressive disorder and anxiety and panic attacks, ocd and argraphobia but the thing that bothers me the most are the suicidal thoughts i don't know how to get rid of them, i have a therapist who is supportive but i still don't feel much better. Why can't i get rid of them, is it my fault?
I had mental health issues from age 16-24, which were particularly severe from the age of 21- mania, psychosis etc. A large feature of this was suicidal thoughts and ideation, ultimately culminating in 2 fortunately failed attempts. From age 24-26 I was free of any symptoms other than these thoughts and for the next 5 years I was free of anything.
I know you work, but if you have your husband call the psychiatrist, I would follow-up on that and make sure he did call and make sure he told him he was having suicidal thoughts. If your husband is depressed, he may not get around to making the call. Sometimes when one is depressed, doing anything can seem like an insurmountable chore.
I wish you and your husband the very best and I hope he will feel better soon.
Condoms work. This is a fact. Please don' t let these thoughts creep in. Suicide is NEVER the answer, especially as there was no risk!
I was on Cymbalta for 2 years. It is a great medication and gave me energy. Plus, I didn't feel depressed at all. I switched to pristiq because of the cost and I have diabetes and it did have weight gain for me.
Desvenlafaxine ( Pristiq ) is a novel form of the isolated major active metabolite of venlafaxine, and is categorized as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by blocking the transporter "reuptake" proteins for key neurotransmitters affecting mood, thereby leaving more active neurotransmitters in the synapse. The neurotransmitters affected are serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).
For immediately relief, in the phone book is the Crisis Intervention Center phone number on the first inside page, they will talk to you until the cows come home, and they can also tell you a good state-run mental health clinic with psychologists that you make appointments with and visit them when it's convenient, and they'll talk to you some more, and psychiatrists are on staff and they can give you temporary medicines to help you through this rought patch.
re having suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety and depression and make sure you tell them, and they know, de-personalization and de-realization. I know what you're thinking that they will put you In a mental hospital, and I assure you that's not the case. I told them the same things when I was In your shoes and they fixed me. Gave me some pills, some mental help with a counselor and some papers for reading on my problems.
Hi all, I am new to this forum, although I have been lurking for a while to find answers. I will try to make this question short.
I was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression after my daughter was born in 2010, but nothing has gotten better. I used to have anxiety and impulsive beavhiours when I was in my teens, so this has led me to believe that this isn't something that is going to get better anymore.
We discovered that my insurance does not cover Pristiq and he had no remaining samples at his office. I had enough to get me through a few more days, at which point he asked I call him because he was going to attempt to locate more samples. If he was unable to do so, we were going to find an alternate solution at the very least. When I called my doctor, he told me he had not yet located any but would call me right back. He never returned my phone call.
Unfortunately, that stressor is back full force and I am going back on the Pristiq and Klonopin. It is the only thing that quieted my thoughts, helped me focus on what is important (my kids and hubby), and although I am not quite the active, cheery, and happy go lucky person I once was, I believe I am as close as I am going to get given what I am facing every day.
