> i'm taking effexor, depakote, buspar, loraepam, and wellbutrin. i guess i'm as crazy as they come!
> my psychdoc says that most likely i will always have suicidal tendencies. i'm sick of all the pills, and trying to remember when to take them all. i quit taking them on my own: mistake. that was a really bad time.so, i figured that i would "go for broke" and just take all my pills for the month all at the sam time. what a cure all!!Hi Norman
I'm not sure that was an accurate statement for your psych to make. Is there any way for you to get a second opinion? If your doctor isn't taking your suicidal impulses seriously he isn't doing his job.
I'm really concerned about you. Are you still thinking of taking all your pills at once? Please DON'T. Even if it didn't kill you it could cause a lot of damage and be very unpleasant.
Have you been depressed for a long time? There are people on the board (I'm not one of them) who know a lot about medicine. Maybe if you could give a few more details about your depression and what has and hasn't worked, they could give you some suggestions.
On a practical note-have you tried buying a pill box at the drugstore so you can organize your pills and make it easier to remember them?
Anyway,please stick around and keep posting and don't try for a "cure all" (at least you haven't lost your sense of humour:-)
Best wishes O.
