The "normal" antidepressants aren't like that..... but.. I have a friend who hasn't found help with the older more "normal " stuff. And yep, she was prescribed one of these newer ones that yes has that side effect... and yes ... it also made her completely crazy and she almost committed suicide.
Get rest and get better! It's miserable stuff.
Sadly Tamaflu only works well if you start taking it before you really know you are sick.
I hope it has about run its course! Heck of a bad way to end the year.
Hi Sour! All OK here but I am in shock at reading of Little Lake Phil's devastating news...I have sent him a message as I have a Facebook account and I truly hope he responds...wishing you and everyone here a happy and healthy new year! xxx
I had a clue she was..... this is only one of several depressions as a bi polar person goes through.... she almost always had December depression..... she was so manic this summer i told my therapist i was worried about her.That is so sad, especially since you helped pull her out of bad situations in the past. There are so many "woulda, coulda, shoulda if only I'd known" things in life. Keep working day to day.
And bizarrely some of them lead to suicidal thoughts. WHY would they use such drugs for a depressed person who potentially already has such thoughts? I'm pretty sure one of my Mom's best friends was on one of them. It was probably 20 years ago (Mom died in 2003), her friend went for a daily walk. One day she didn't show up at home when her husband expected her so he followed her normal route, didn't find her. She had gone the other way to downtown, into a hotel that had several floors, up the elevator and jumped off the balcony into the lobby to her death. Must have been just a horrible thing for the people present. Of course no one had a clue she was suicidal.
No way you could have.
