RoxanneS Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) for-those-who-are-feeling-desperate-or-suicidal I'm not suicidal as I have small kids and I could never do this to them and to my husband. But I think of death every day and how nice it would be to get relief from all this:( Is this common in withdrawal and will it go away? Edited September 20, 2019 by ChessieCat added link Was on Paxil 20 mg between 2007-2016 for social anxiety. Off Paxil since 29 february 2016, after 9 years on the drug. Tried to reinstate 6 weeks later with no results, tried then Prozac and Zoloft on advice of psychiatrist with bad results. Meds free since 1 of june and in withdrawal which I don't know any more what it is caused by. ( Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft). Withdrawal symptoms: severe insomnia, nausea, weight loss, anxiety, brain zaps sometimes, strange pains in different places on my body (could be caused by the anxiety though),gastrointestinal issues, jaw pain (gone now), poor memory (could be the lack of sleep), poor concentration, irritability, depression, hopelessness, rumination, tinnitus (gone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hey Roxanne, I had death weighing on my mind every single day for quite a while when I first started with my AD withdrawal. It was unbearable waking up every day with that weighing on my mind wondering if I was going to be like that forever. Some months passed and it became less frequent...and now 2 and a half years into WD, I'll have that thought pop in my head every so often for no reason what so ever...but the only difference is it's usually when I'm sick, or about to get sick, which makes my WD symptoms worse. I'm able to recognize that the thought isnt rational and I just kinda kick it to the curb and move on with my day. It does get better though. I never wanted to commit suicide, but those thoughts of me just not being here so I dont have to deal with all of this use to rush through my mind constantly. It would literally scare the hell out of me because I know I'm not a dark person, I see the good in everyone and everything. That darkness does go away over time...just keep looking ahead for the light From what I've read of others journeys with WD, it seems to be fairly common for the most part depending on how severe the WD's are..so you're definitely not alone! Started Lexapro (escitalopram) 10mg in 2009 for general depression/mild anxiety. Stopped taking Lexapro in August of 2013 cold turkey. Started having vertigo/dizziness in late January of 2014. Symptoms became worse over a few months. Re-instated Lexapro 10mg in June of 2014. Could only handle for a week before dropping down to 5mg. Stopped taking Lexapro in March of 2015 and began taking Celexa 10mg. Also taking topamax 25mg for headaches/migraines and losartan 25mg for high blood pressure.

Terry4949 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Roxannes I have been in withdrawel for 3 years now and when I first started I had it every day from the moment I woke up I would start to think about it , I like you am not suicidel but would think how much easier it would be if I was not here and it would shorten my suffering , all I can say is it's something you have to learn to reconize as a inappropriate thought and try your best to ignore it , for me 3 years on I still get these thoughts but I said to my self I am not going to commit suicide so unless I die from some major illness I am not going to pay it any attention , I am hoping as my brain repairs it self that this will diminish in time , I wish you well 2001 to jan 2015 Effexor 150 mg jan 2015 15 mg mirtazapine 20 mg quetiapine feb 2015 quetiapine stopped feb 2015 30 mg of citalopram added feb 2015 mirtazapine increased to 30 mg july 2015 citalopram stopped sept 2015 200mg of pregabalin jan 2017 mirtazapine stopped jan 2017 20 mg fluoxetine march 2017 all meds stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xena81 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I was on 50mg of zoloft for 19 months. My psychiatrist got me off the drug so quickly that I have experienced major withdrawals including suicidal thoughts. I have seen darkness that I hope to never see again in August of 2018. I recognized that those dark feelings were not mine and I tried to do whatever it took to overcome it. I have a 10 year old son, he was my main motivation, but sadly he was not enough. As a last straw, I purposely reached out to my financial adviser to check with him if my life insurance covered suicide to either make sure my son would be taken care of financially, or that I was not covered to give me another incentive to fight. I have overcome the feelings. I hope you don't mid, I share the emails I exchanged with my financial adviser. Please fight with every ounce of your being!!! Do not let the drug whisper lies to you. Things will get better. Call suicide hotlines, call/talk to your friends/family, go to the emergency room, but FIGHT!!! As difficult as it is, tell yourself those feelings are not yours, they are not real. I am still battling severe depression, but the dark thoughts are gone. Here below are my emails. I hope some may find this helpful. Aug 30, 2018, 8:29 AM To G Hi, Does my life insurance cover in case of suicide? Please let me know. Thank you. Aug 30, 2018, 9:36 AM to me Hey, I hope all is well. There is a two year contestability clause in the contract. If you commit suicide in the first 2 years they will contest the claim. Is everything OK?. Call me if you need to talk. Best, G Aug 30, 2018, 9:51 AM to G Being completely honest with you. No, I am not ok. I needed to hear that they would contest the claim so that I can have another incentive to keep living in this cruel world. At least that will give me 2 more years fighting for my life, because I got this insurance to protect my little one. Hopefully then, I will be better. Aug 30, 2018, 10:29 AM to me I would go back to therapy so you have someone who can help you work through your feelings. Life can be very hard, at times...but it's a beautiful thing. I can promise you that you will not feel this way forever, you need to keep getting up and keep moving forward. Your son needs you...no one can ever replace you in his life. If you are unhappy with your life, change it...don't end it. You are a beautiful person and ending your life may stop the momentary pain, but it will pass it on to those you love most. This too shall pass and you will be happy again...be strong...don't give up! Stay in touch with me...I'm here if you need to vent.

Tweet Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I have had suicidal ideation, hoping if I drive enough I will get hit by an 18 wheeler or have a blowout and flip over and die. It continues to this day and I am at 14 months. I wouldn’t commit suicide because I couldn’t do that to my kids. Sometimes I wish I were free to just do it. These are daily thoughts. Hope they go away. It is just the suffering talking. This is the best of my recollection. 20 mg Prozac 3-4 days per week from 1994 until May 2018. Beginning May 15 I began to drop doses. I dropped 1 dose per week for the next 4 weeks. It was not systematic at all. I don't have which days I took what. so the week of May 13 I took 4 doses, which was pretty normal for me. Then the week of May 20 I took 3 doses 20 mg. The week of May 27 I took 3 doses 20 mg. The 1st week in June l took 2 doses 20 mg. The week of June 10, 2018 was my last dose 20 mg. I had been on Prozac only for over 20 years. No other medications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Altostrata Posted September 30, 2019 Administrator Share Posted September 30, 2019 Please remind yourself, a thought is just a thought. You do not have to focus on or pursue any thought. It's your choice. Suicide is an extreme solution to suffering, but it is only one solution among many. Some people become frightened because the thought of suicide occurs to them as they are considering their options. There is no need to be afraid of a suicidal thought, merely having a thought will not hurt you, you can let it go. The neurological uproar caused by drug changes and withdrawal may cause you to have unbidden, spontaneous dark thoughts, sometimes revealing your deepest fears. You do not have to explore those thoughts, or you can explore them with therapeutic support when you're ready. If the thoughts are caused by the neurological uproar (Neuro-emotions), they will come and go in waves that are sometimes intense. Do your best not to add fear of these feelings to your symptoms. Remind yourself they will pass, distract yourself if you can with a constructive activity such as taking a walk, petting a puppy, or playing with your children. Leave the door open so a bad thought can go away. Also see The Windows and Waves Pattern of Stabilization Non-drug techniques to cope with emotional symptoms Easing your way into meditation for a stressed-out nervous system Music for self-care: calms hyperalertness, anxiety, aids relaxation and sleep Deep emotional pain and crying spells, spontaneous weeping Shame, guilt, regret, and self-criticism Health anxiety, hypochondria, and obsession with symptoms Sudden fear, terror, panic, or anxiety from withdrawal Ways to cope with daily anxiety Coping with irritation, anger and rage Dealing With Emotional Spirals For those who are feeling desperate or suicidal 2 This is not medical advice.

But I cannot help thinking thats what I need to survive. I just do not think I have a choice. Please help me. I don't know you at all but there are other options and this board is one of them - keep posting and talking about things, keep reading the links people post. tell yourself suicide is just an idea, you don't have to act on it, as often as you need to. I think being drugged is better than killing yourself so if you need to be committed you should do it. but that, too, is just an option. I think there is more than one suicide hotline out there but here is one Lifeline. the number is 800-273-8255. they are always there for you to talk to. Currently taking Ramapril (blood pressure) 5 mg twice a day Omeprazole 10 mg AM and 20 mg PM (the taper has gone nowhere after the first cut) Famotidine once a day (and I still needs tums sometimes) magnesium 200 mg at night as of yesterday 2 fish oil capsules "EPA-DHA 1000" off Lexapro as of 5/2018 - last dose had been 5 mg every other day for a couple years highest dose had been 20 mg at which point I was diagnosed with Bipolar II, which went away when I cut the lexapro down to 15 mg. I spent years on Paxil before Lexapro (can't remember dose), briefly on Effexor and Abilify and others I have forgotten. in fact, when I was diagnoses with BPII I was put on all kinds of things which made me feel so bad I stopped them cold turkey within maybe 3 or 4 weeks, thank goodness. since then I've known these pills were terrible and I weaned down the Lexapro with zero help or support over I'm not sure how many years.

Denas1969 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Thank you. I have calmed down some maybe a window idk. Sunday and Monday were extremely awful. My husband had a heart attack and my neighbor still harasses us and i had to go to court over his stuff tuesday morning then to the hospital to sprnd the day with my husband waiting for his release. I had therapy on Monday and cried for most of it not able to talk much. Lots and lots of crying then feeling zombified as if I had nothing left just kind of numb with some occasional agitation. Eating better again. Noe money is an issue cuz he is out of work for a while and i cant bring myself to work with my dysfunctional self. But the si had lightened up. I just want to get through this wd and life circumstances beyond my control. Some days easier than others for sure. I have the hotline number and will use it if i need to unload. Ty agaun.
