A high percentage of psychiatric meds actually make me feel worse instead of better. I have become profoundly intensely deeply depressed on meds. I never got suicidal, but I can see how it could happen. Thankfully I finally found a couple my system likes, prozac and zyprexa. But even too high a dose of either of them can make me more depressed again. It's almost as if I have a therapeutic window, and maybe other people do too, and maybe common starting doses of meds shoot people way past the window way too fast. I don't know. I can see though how someone could have a paradoxical or adverse reaction and kill themselves, not being of sound mind when they do it.
