Yes, I did mention suicidal thoughts to her; well, impulsive and irrational wanting to close my eyes and drive into the other lane of traffic thoughts. Is that suicidal? Maybe...
I'm certainly not anymore though. That risperdal kicked in FAST. That and the lithium increase. I slept until noon today (my husband took my kids to school) and still had a hard time getting up. The depressive thoughts weren't there today, just a drugged out sort of feeling with hints of what might be happiness. Until now...7 pm and I'm feeling a little low. It might be time to take the risperdal again. Does it wear off at the end of the day for you?
I think I might describe this drug as getting rid of agitation as well. I had been feeling depressed AND agitated; a horrible combination. Now I'm just a happy drugged person.
