What's your point? Trying to OD on lithium will be very slow and painful. I would not advise it.

I think OP is recommending people with suicidal thoughts try lithium.

Unfortunately, it hasn't helped me…but at the moment quietipane is helping me. I still can't get out of bed without cocaine though…The quietipane is taking away the suicidal thoughts for me.

Lithium is prescribed for bipolar, not solely for depression. Quetiapine is an atypical antipsychotic prescribed for bipolar type 1 and schizophrenia. It's also used as a sleeping aid. Unfortunately, I take both. I've 'stable' on lithium between 1998 and 2006. At that time, they prescribed Seroquel. I would very much like to off the Seroquel, but I've not feeling very well lately, so it's not on the table yet.

I'm on lithium, lurasidone, and mirtazapene and I still think about CTB pretty much every waking moment. I'm not saying that meds don't help at all, without them I'm pretty sure I'd have jumped from a bridge or some other impulsive method. But meds aren't helping with the underlying fact that my life has been destroyed, and everything I ever lived for is gone now.
