Anyone felt suicidal on AMITRIPTALINE?!


Question:

Anyone felt suicidal on AMITRIPTALINE?

Not sure if I spelt it right but the doctor put me on this medication to help me relax better at night. I also have Borderline Personality Disorder. She recently upped the dose and now I am sinking into bad deppression, I am wondering if it is to do with the medication more than my Borderline. My doctors is shut and I dont know wether to take it tonight cause I feel suicidal as it is!


Answers:

Unfortunately an antidepressant can cause suicidal thoughts in certain people. Do not kill yourself. Go get help.

If you are Borderline, then you are much harder to treat than the average case. Get to your doctor and tell them what is going on. If you are a borderline antidepressants should not be used alone. You need a mood stabilizer as well. Talk to your doctor about Depakote, Lithium or an newer Anti-psychotic. IE Risperdal, Seroquel)
