I am about the age of your son, and I can't help but relate. I am very sorry. I took effexor, and unfortunately it did make me more suicidal.
The doctors don't understand the drugs they are dealing with. They don't know how they can make people feel. On the one hand they don't trust the patient, but on the other hand the doctor trusts that the patient is going to tell the doctor that they are more suicidal? Not likely. I just lied. I was so tired of failed attempts at making me feel better, that I just lied about how I felt. I felt like saying, if you're only going to give me 5 minautes of your time, you don't deserve to know how I feel.
My heart goes out in support. If only there were some way I could help to make the whole system more safe.Linkadge
