Felt suicidal last night...

[Gardener101]

I am currently not taking anti depressants. Bearing in mind how those thoughts flooded my mind last night, does anyone think I should go back and take meds or do you think this is just part of the healing process in the sense that feeling so low can come and go, and with time it will happen less and less until it eventually just stops?

I have also lost weight recently but I put that down to stress.

Any comments or prayers appreciated.

Thank you and God bless.

Sorry this is a little too short - gotta dash to work.

I'd recommend you get medical help as soon as possible. It sounds like you may need to get prescribed, a more gradual reduction if that's what the doctor wants you to do.

I'm not sure from your post if you suddenly stopped taking the meds, but if that is the case then it can exhibit what you're feeling now and could be a good indicator that perhaps it's a little too soon for you to come off them.

Have just said a prayer for you sis, keep us informed and keep talking to us here 's. Don't give way to those thoughts....

I'm sorry for what's happening, hope you feel better soon. I've been there before but I didn't take ny meds or something. Prayer and hugs works a lot!

I will be praying for you.

What medication were you taking?
For how long have you been off them?

At the moment my mum is suffering from withdrawal symptoms (she has recently stopped taking Seroxat), withdrawal symptoms include depression, tiredness, nausea, etc, but these eventually go in a few weeks.

Thanks for your reply and prayer hun I have not taken any meds for several months now. I am actually due to see a counselor in less than two weeks time, for an assessment. I hope they don't put me back on meds

Thanks hun. I am not on any meds at the moment. I stopped taking them several months ago and have felt well in that time, until recently when I hit this brick wall. I hope it's a temporary blip.

Thank you. Oh you are so right about how prayers and hugs work a lot! I am so thankful for my pet (a lovely cat) as I get lots of hugs from him. I wish I had more human contact, but yeah, hugs definitely help. Thanks for your prayers. God bless you!

I was on Citalopram and have been off them for at least 5 months now, maybe even longer (I'm crap with dates).

I am very sorry about your mother suffering withdrawal symptoms. I said a prayer for her.

God bless.
