Dear Arthur,
You have been blessed with enough advises so far, but if you have serious suicidal thoughts, please rush to the doctor. If your pdoc is not available now, try to see another one. Don't bargain with your life and babble with this forum. This forum is only intended for information purposes . An individual patient always should be consulted with his doctor. Suicidal tendencies should not be taken lightly, and upping your dose arbitrarily is definitely not a good idea. Don't forget that a serotonin syndrom is possible and that can increase the suicidal tendencies.
It is a struggle of existence dear Arthur, So there is nothing to be ashamed of seeing another doctor and seeking treatment.
I am sure these tendencies will go away once you are stabilized on a psychotropic. If prozac loses its effectiveness within a short period of time, I don't think it is an ideal make for you. Don't hesitate to discuss with the options with your doc.Please!!
