Discussion Antipsychotics and mood stabilizers make me suicidal

[Girobatol]

Are you on antipsychotics and/or mood stabilizers? Do you feel the pain of having your mind and desires shut off? Is it because of them that you want to ctb?

I am afraid this what meds may do for you. The chems affecting your brain and the way you are thinking and feeling. One fast step forward and three sleepwalking back. So much about getting help. Sorry, sarcastic again.
I also think that there is a mental breaking point, passing that will lead to CTB.

I'm on quetiapine for mood stabiliser, Prozac for depression and pregabalin for anxiety. I wasn't really that numb till 6 months ago when the Prozac was introduced to the mix. I went from going to the gym 5 times a week to not bothering at all. I haven't got any motivation to live. I have been fighting this feeling for too long, and the pain has to stop.

It is isn't it. I'm on pretty hefty doses too. the quetuapine used to help my mood swings, but I have been on that nearly 5 years , I requested to change and the mental health team denied. Just doesn't stop the swinging into deep depression anymore
