I have tried to kill myself several times. I took anti-depressants (zoloft) and my urge to kill myself…died. Admittadly, what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for all. They worked for me and many others where other methods have failed. > A sugar pill would have been cheaper and have less long term side > effects..

There were many things that were done to try and make me happy, but ultimately none worked. > But you’re a drug company shill hired by Eli Lilly to post on ASDM.

Why am I a drug company shill? Who’s Eli Lilly?

Hi I am new to this group, just got on it yesterday, and I hope some- one responds to my posts. I’ve never actually even talked to another bipolar person believe it or not because I’ve been such a homebody since it started screwing everything up around age 20 (well I’ve had the symptoms all my life but when you hit the real world….you might know…) Anyway I just want to say that I am allergic to all those SSRIs too. I posted this yesterday. They all make me feel much, much worse. Zoloft led to my only overdose (no one pumped my stomach because I didn’t tell anyone it was a strange 3 days.) Did you all know that suicide is listed as an effect of these drugs? You can read it on many websites and even in the small print on the folded pamphlet included with your Dr’s samples of the drug. I also read the pamphlet on Zyprexa, and it says suicide can be a rare effect of that too. I know Zyprexa has antihistamine in it, the same thing that makes you tired in benadryl or sleeping pills, and antihistamine also makes me very depressed. I have noticed the little tendancies on the few occasions I was on Zyprex for it being impossible to sleep. They don’t warn you. I noticed SSRIs are the first thing slapped down as Rx EVERY TIME I’ve seen a different doctor. thankfully now I have one and we have found the right medications. Without them I feel like killing myself too. Though I would never do it. I know its stupid to do. But it still sucks when life feels so bad you just want to die all the time, except from September to March. I have a breakdown every year when it turns from hot to cold or back, like clockwork. anyone else have that? I always go in the hospital. I asked this yesterday too. Don’t bipolars have Excess serotonin, anyway? Why do they put us on ssris, then? I also read some theory that decreasing serotonin is the way out of depresion, that paxil etc works by bombarding receptors to make them less sensitive to serotonin. that would make sense. just what is really chemically different about the bipolar brain? does anyone know? I only get 30 minutes with my dr and dont’ see a shrink. I have many questions and have done a lot of reading. I wish I was smart enough to figure out how to fix it too. the doctors only have half the info, and we have the other half. they don’t have the delusions, mania, and depression. they dont take the Rxs they prescribe. They only know half. We should pool our info so we can get out of this predicament. I hate it. Love yall, someone please write to me.

and angry. Maybe Efexor is not enough for your problrm, you should think that maybe your problem is deeper . You should try to try something more, and anyway ,I think that you need friends more than a medicine. Efexor is a soft medicine, maybe you need something heavier. > I was sleeping approx 4 hours per night,

I dont believe it. If you wanted to take your life, it was up to you. Dont blame any medicine or whatever… I feel fantastic, in control and > nearly normal.

I think that your suicide attempts were just flames, a way to say: I exist and I need help. good for you. I am happy that you are still alive, but remember that maybe the next time there will be nobody to save you from death, and please think about all the people who are really commiting suicide, leaving their families and friends in grief. take care love B – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> — > Psychiatry is to Science > as Astrology is to Astronomy

I agree with you, Dobei, I find Efexor good. I use to be on surmontil for a year and it didn’t do anything at all for my depression. B
