Yes, I know the feeling. Since starting antidepressants I have never been so suicidal. I have tried things for mood stabilization (7 drugs I think), and they have all made me lathargic to the point of not being able to function, and so apathetic that all I want to do is sleep and stay in my house. Yje only thinks that have helped me so far are Klonopin and Adderall, but once the Adderall wers off in the evening the bad thoughts come back. I am currently trying to wean myself off Cymbalta, but am having a hard time and feel the depression coming back. I just don't know what to do anymore, and I am losing trust in my psychiatrist. He just had me try Amantadine whcih has a huge warning to not give to psychiatric patients because they have been known to become suicidal on it and it is an easy drug to overdose on. I really don't know what he was thinking, and he hasn't returned my calls.
Thanks for writing.Good luck to us both.
