In reply to HELP THIs is time of year I try suicide , posted by Mandy on March 15, 2003, at 19:31:33
Mandy,
I'm redirecting this post to Psycho-Social-Babble, where people may respond with med and non-med related ideas. I don't know about duloxetine, so I'm no help there. However, I think one thing to consider is having a plan on handling things when you're close to hurting yourself.Do you know the symptoms that precede an actual attempt (for the last two years, anything you can identify right before the attempt?), or a feeling/thought pattern, more isolation, etc. Anything like that you can pinpoint will help you and others know when action (like going to the ER or whatever you work out) is needed (vs. just having suicidal ideation and action doesn't need to be taken).
I am hoping you will get more responses on the other board. I'm very glad to see you thinking about this ahead of time!

> I posted in a different area and am not getting answers I had hoped so I am doing new post to see if anyone else out there can help me. I have had clinical depression for 10 years, but for the last two May months, I have tried to overdose. The last one almost worked. The docs differ as to whether I am difficult to treat depression and anxiety or bipolar. I currently take 20mg lexapro in am and 1 mg klonopin in eve with 200 mg seroquel and just started 4 mg gabitril. I do not think the gabitril is doing anything and I sleep awful at night unless I sneak in some ambien on my own. Already I can see my thoughts changing to feelings of worthless and that everyone would just be better without me. This is really not the true me because I am a pediatric nurse, I raised a daughter with autism, I have a happy marriage of 34 years, a 31 year old son who is doing fine, and I am caring and compassionate. But my thoughts are getting so dark again. Any suggestions would really be helpful. I am also on hormone therapy so there really is almost nothing I have not tried. What is the drug duloxetine and is it available in US?
