I’ve recently started taking anti-depressants again (used to take them about two years ago).

I’ve done some research on the net about them and now that I know that about 30 will kill me I am extremely tempted to just take them all and die. It sounds really painful though, apparently at first I’ll throw up bile and blood and then my liver will failure, maybe other organs, and i’ll go into cardiac arrest and have seizures- that’s what the internet told me anyway. And apparently they make me even more depressed before they start to make me happy so I feel like I’m a real risk. Theres like this little part of my brain thats being all like ‘just hang on, you’ll get better’ but that little bit seems to diminish more and more everyday, it’s really lame.

I have been on anti depressants before, I have been on a few different ones before I found ones that suited me.
It does sound like you haven’t been on them very long as the anti depressants only make you feel forst for the first week or 2 of takeing them before they start to kick in, and it is worth it hanging on because when they do start to work you will feel a whole lot better.
I also think that this is worth talking to your doctor about, tell him your concerns about it and tell him the truth about how you feel because if you don’t tell him everything then he can’t find the right ones for you.

These are the same anti-depressants I was on a few years ago, and they seemed to have worked back then. Personally I don’t think my doctor took the right approach with me, she just kind of appeared to listen for a little while then gave me the pills and sent me on my way. I actually told her that I had been thinking about suicide a lot and overdosing would be the way i’d do it, and that my parents had hidden all the medication in our house because my therapists had told them to last time. This time around only my doctor, me and one of my friends know that i actually have these pills.

I almost feel like i’m switching between two different parts of my brain, one thats being logical and telling me to hold on and one that just wants to give up already. It kind of makes me feel even crazier, how quickly my thoughts change.

Hey,
I have to tell you that I’ve felt the same way, so I know what you’re going through. Seriously, find another doctor (one with bedside manner), or find a really good friend and just explain things to them. Ask them to help you, stay with you, anything until it gets a little better. It does get better; it just takes time. Try writing something down in the meantime or doing something to ge the thoughts of your head and away.
Hope I’ve helped.

Thanks, you actually have helped by just replying, I was beginning to feel really suicidal and came online hoping that someone I could talk to was on msn, no one is but it was nice to see that someone replied to my post. Thanks a lot.
