In reply to Suicidal. Change meds or increase dose?, posted by racer on June 5, 1999, at 16:42:14
Dear, DEAR Racer. I am so sorry that you have to be suffering this way. Please know that we are here for you. Please keep writing to let us know how you are doing. I do not know if words can help you when you are in the depth of despair, but let me say that simply by virtue of the suffering you have endured, you are enlightened and stronger then the average person. Indeed, it must take incredible endurance to go through what you are going through.
If you cannot stop the suicidal tendencies, perhaps you can ask your doctor to prescribe something stronger, such as an anti-psychotic like zyprexa or risperdal, as temporary treatment. These medications too have side effects so you may have to try a few before you find one that works best for you. But you may not have time for this. In that case, check into to a hospital and perhaps the doctor there can stabalize you. Remember, there are still many medications and combinations to try. For example you might try adding remeron to the effexor.
Please keep up your amazing strength and spirit.
And write to us. We are listening!
