Anti-Depressant and Suicidal Thoughts

best thing that comes to mind is talk to her about it, hell even blaze her since its all natural and doesnt mess wit ya that bad ;) i hope everything works out for the best. ive taken Zoloft before the stuff is powerfull even in small amounts that you wouldnt regularly notice

i will recommend a very good book to you.
mad in america
read it

I did talk with her about the whole situation and she makes it seem like she has everything all under control...and then I talk to dad and he says she's trying to stop all on her own because she doesn't want to depend on the pills to make her happy. I don't know...I just worry about her.

Yeah..if only she smoked...she doesn't like to though.

My younger sister has been on Zoloft for about a year now. I never understood why she's even on it since the depression she was going through last year was just because she broke up with her boyfriend and it was around Christmas. Recently, she tried getting off of Zoloft, on her own, and just stopped taking it. She started falling apart and seriously thought of killing herself. From what her doctor told her, she can't just stop taking Zoloft, cold turkey...that she needs to wean off of it but he prescribed her 5 more months of Zoloft and didn't lower the dosage. Why is that? And how serious are the suicidal thoughts?

i knew some one on that shit and i got them fucked up with a fat sack and some vodka and they didnt want too take it any more so my sulltion would be too get her fuckeds up but it is your sister so no:confused:

Zoloft and other anti depressents supply a chemical call serotonin to the brain, if you get too much of a boost of it, or a sudden halt in supply in your "normal" intake of that chemical.

Your body will react as if it isnt being supplied enough to function and basically it will tell you that something is wrong, you'll react to that yourself by become more anxious and such.

So all in all you have to slowly reduce the amount of that chemical that is being sent to your brain (So it doesn't interprit it as a problem).

Ralph, I would love to hang with my sister and maybe get a little drunk and a little high. I think she'd be a riot to hang with...but lately...she's been kinda anti-social and seem to always have an excuse why she can't go out with me.

Thanks for that information, Crusnik. Makes sense to me.
