I wouldn't put these medications on a pedistal like this.
Just the fact that in some cases antidepressants might actually increase the risk of suicide tells me that the paitent should have full right to decide to stop meds.
What if you forced somebody to continue to take a medication that was making them suicidal?
What if they offed themselves because they were forced to stay on a med that they did't want to be on?
If would have offed myself on celexa if somebody had forced me to take it, as it was making me highly suicidal.
