What medication has worked for you? Specifically to stop/reduce thoughts of suicide? I don't mind contemplating CTB, but it really bothers me when I dream about it, or when I think about it on waking .. I don't like not being in control of the thoughts.
In the past I've tried citalopram, sertraline and fluoxetine (UK names) and have had really awful side effects from all of them.. I was hallucinating on the lowest dose of citalopram and Sertraline made me sleep literally all day.. my doctor doesn't believe I had these side effects
I think the next step would be venfalaxine but I've been advised against it due to its sedating properties.
I've mostly given up on medication but thinking about giving it one last try.
Any positive stories? Thanks
