In reply to documentation of akithisia, etc. from SSRIs, posted by iforgotmypassword on September 23, 2005, at 8:50:40
I've read quite a few reports of SSRI's inducing akathasia and suicidal tendencies.
I have never been suicidal in my life until I went on Lexapro. I went on it for anxiety and found myself going into a dark/pit type depression with extreme agitation. I wanted to crawl out of my own skin.
Because I couldn't find relief, I honestly pondered/thought about/considered suicide every hour of that torture. It just seemed like my only 'way out' of the nightmare.I mean, if you are uncomfortable in your own body, where do you go????
That's how desperate I felt. The only thing that kept me from following through was looking at my boys' and my husband and imaging what that would do to them.
Otherwise, I'd be dead.
