    I weaned myself off anti-depressants. Ironically they can lead to suicidal thoughts. Nasty, nasty shit.

    Well yeah that's why I wouldn't want to take them. I have enough on my own. I manage to snap myself out of it though.

    They were actually perscribed to me as sleeping pills. After about a year I started acting crazy so I finally looked into it. Now I take melatonin, works just fine. I also found a new doctor. The one who prescribed the Trazodone instisted I take 2 every night, 1 was more than enough. I'm glad I got away from it all.

    really..as sleeping pills? So were they like some kind of valium, sleeping pills do not work for at all. I tried self medicating with over the counter ones..to calm myself down at times so I can sleep and they actually make me more wired after making me intially drowsy.

    The trazadone would knock me on my ass. I've had insomnia all my life, finally got fed up and went to the doc. Because of the side effects, it's just not worth it.

    Yes. I tried to kill myself a few months ago in New Smyrna, FL. My parents were annoying me so I went to a hotel, bought tons of Tylenol PM and Advil and swallowed. When I woke up I started puking and puking. I was choking on my own collapsed throat. I must have puked for hours. Fell asleep, when I woke up, I was on the bathroom floor, and I was petrified that I was in a mental hospital. I walked back home and convinced my parents I was puking from the fish I ate that night.
    Signed it, grind it.
    Corroding and foreboding.

    I've had a few thoughts of it. All of them were when I was out of shape and eating a shit diet.

    Become healthy/vibrant and suicide does not even enter the mind.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    That's not necessarily true, though it does help your well-being. But if you are going through a difficult situation, than eating healthy won't prevent you from having those thoughts. If you've reached that point, then you've reached that point.

    people really need to be more careful about what they put into themselves... the pill made me suicidal once... it was a very very scary and confusing time. Finally I figured it out, came off it and a couple of weeks later I was fine. I take the odd painkiller now (very very odd... maybe every 2 or 3 months) but that's all. I'd be very wary of touching any medication :(
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Oh yes that is good for "stress" but I'm not too sure about clinical depression. But then again I'm not doctor. I just think some people have a more positive outlook then others. I think that really makes a difference. But that is only one factor.

    people who truly suffer from depression suffer from a chemical imbalance in the brain-that is the purpose of medication to help balance the right chemicals in teh brain...some medications don't work for some people that is why there are many many different kinds-you just need a psychiatrist that you trust and who is willing to work with you to help you find something that works!

    if it is someone close to you that is seriously threatening suicide-you have a right to call the police and have them checked into a hospital-if it is yourself and you admit you have a problem you have the right to check yourself into a hospital! if it hasn't gotten that bad yet then seek counseling!
    there is only so much friends and family can do to help-but in the end love and support is not always enough-medication and professional help might be needed...i speak from experience-not for me but close people to me....
