Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hope this is the right board to post this on. Anywhoos I have a slight problem. You see, I'm starting to think my life isn't worth living anymore. Thinking about death and how to go about it is probably not the best line of thinking so I am going to the doc tomorrow to ask him about anti-depressant therapy. Things have been rough on me these past few weeks and I am finally throwing in the towel and admitting that...I need help. If anyone has any experience with certain meds, or can recommend anything it would be most appreciated. From the research I have done either Lexapro or Remeron seem like good candidates. Anyone?

I'll tell you... I've lived with a chronic generalized anxiety disorder since I was in my late teens.
I just went to get on some steady meds for it early this year.
Sometimes, you just gotta know for yourself, it's time. It's like night and day, bro.
Go in there, talk to the doc.... get help.
The social taboos about mental imbalances are falling by the wayside, thank goodness.
Bless you, man.

Is that anyway for a member of the SSC to talk bro? I sure as hell don't think so.
Anyway, I've been there and have tried a number of meds, none of which worked for me. It's a very personal thing. Some things work great for some, but make things way worse for others. I know on zoloft, for instance, I was violent and had delusions of grandeur - I was convinced I could kill a bear with my bare hands and shit. Ended up hurting myself pretty bad taking saws and shit to my arms and now have some lovely scars to remind me. That is one of the reasons I am scared to try meds again - it really did fuck me up. I'm still unhappy all the time and am anti-social and shit - which leads to other problems - and know meds COULD help a lot but I'm not ready to dabble yet. I do recommend that you try something though. Like was said, you know when it is time to give something else a shot and and youare there bro. PM me if you wanna talk.

A small moment of weakness. I trust this will not find its way into my service record.
In any case thanks for the support. I'll let you know what I end up going on and how it works. Hopefully my experience will not parallel yours. I need some relief.

You sound like the perfect candidate for good ole prozac. Stuff takes 2 or 3 weeks before it works but I've seen some people that were pretty messed up emotionally get on that and turn into a complete nutball.... happy-wise. It may not work the same for everyone but it worked wonders for one particular person I know.
Hey bro hows it going? Listen I hope by the time you get this post things have started to look a little brighter. I seriously think that you should consider talking to someone (anyone) about the things that are troubling you. I talk to people on a regular basis about these types of feelings and you should know that we all have low points in our lives where we feel that there is no other solution, but I want you to know there is. Meds are just part of the solution. You need to be able work through these hard times and sometimes we ALL need someone there to give us that "spot" when life gets a little heavy. Hopefully you can find a professional person in your community that can work with you to get through this. Talk to a family member or a friend that you are close to. If possible try to be around others when thoughts of suicide enter your mind and STAY AWAY FROM ALL DRUGS AND ALCOHOL until this passes because this will just add to these negative feelings. I don't know you and I don't know your situation, but it sounds to me that you want to beat this, so do just that. Take one day at a time. One hour at a time if need be. Whatever it takes because suicide is permanent and most problems aren't. If I may ask, when was your last cycle and what was it that you took b/c sometimes a lot of people become depressed after their cycle is completed due to a hormonal imbalance. If this is the case mention this to your MD when you talk to him/her. Take care of yourself bro, get help, and stay strong. I hope to be reading some of your posts in the future. You can feel free to pm me if you need. Good luck!
