I was on 1000 mg of Depakote for 1 week, then on the 1000 mg of Depakote and Lexapro (10 mg)!. for a week together, then tapered off the Depakote (five days at 500 mg) then cut off!. I was on the Lexapro for three and 1/2 weeks, then skipped a day, and was put on 20 mg of Celexa!. I was on the generic brand of Celexa (Citalopram) for a week, skipped a day, and then put on 20 mg of Prozac, been on it for two days!. Before this began, I was having fears, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and impulsive thinking--like I was going to hurt someone or something and I didn't want too!. I actually think the suicidal thoughts were just fears, then I started the Depakote, etc, and had some really really freaky dreams, hallucinations!. My question is this!. When do the suicidal lthoughts stop!? I think the medicine changes--that I have not go to the right therapy level!. There are no plans, though sometimes I get weird images like cutting ,etc, feelings more or less!. I am in therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I experienced the same thing when I was on Lexapro!. I got the burning sensation in my neck and into my head!. I have been there before!.!.!.!.developed severe anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic attacks, wound up in the hospital!. I never would have thought in a million years that "I" would develop that condition, I was so mentally strong and "normal"!. We all are vulnerable though!. We're human!. It is ok as long as you get help!. The suicidal thoughts will stop when you get your mental strength and self confidence back!. Therapy will help withthat!. When you really start to love yourself and love others is when your life will change!. Acceptance is the beginning of healing!. It is easier said then done tho, it is a difficult road, but the best thing I can tell you is to really start believing in yourself and associate with good people!. You need positive friends and support system to overcome this challenge!. Be around people that believe in you!. You can do it!. God Bless!. ;-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

My goodness, you've been through the ringer!. I take Cymbalta, Eskalith (lithium), and xanax (as needed, not all the time) and it's been heaven for me!. I've never taken Depakote and neither has my son!. He takes Geodon!. I took Effexor once and it sent me through the ceiling!. If you're asking about a good antidepressant, I've head ALOT of great reviews about Cymbalta!. I absolutely love it and it doesn't have the sexual side effects of most antidepressants!. Please do not cut yourself!. I know that most cutters have a sensation of "relief" when they cut, but the relief can be achieved in other ways!. Please call your Pdoc or your Primary Care Provider and let them know that your meds may be causing you excessive anxiety!. It might even be a good idea to go to the Emergency Room and explain to them calmly that you're having what is probably referred to as a panic attack and your meds are "in transition" and that something for anxiety would be effective enough for you to make rational decisions about your medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
