Linkadge, I understand that sometimes psychotropics can induce a "paradoxical" suicidal state for multiple reasons, but I think you might consider that the content of your thoughts and their psychodynamics might need addressing with psychotherapeutic counselling. That's what it sounds like to me. It couldn't hurt. What are your thoughts on this? I don't mean to be insulting - just helpful.
