hi, I have been depressed now for a long time with an escalation in the condition in the last 18 months. I initially started on 25mg a day of Setraline and now after many adjustment s taking 150mg.

The start up side effects were challenging and some ongoing regular effects are disruptive but overall this tablet is stabilising my situation. Suicide is difficult to discuss with anyone as it is seen as selfish, however when you are so down it feels like the only option.

Even with the 150mg Setraline i still find myself researching suicide. If you are in this situation please, please speak to someone as that one conversation can remove the risk of what is a permanent solution

Thanks
