Well I decided to take the sertraline and can't believe how fast it has effected me in a very negative way I wish I just stuck by my guns and didn't take it now the bad side effects kicked in after an hour of taking one I have never felt so ill in my life so I'm going back to not taking anything again ssri meds just don't agree with me at all I feel like I'm going to drop dead and that only after one 50 mg pill

      Yes I'm having suicidle problems for sure but they are only thoughts and I can deal with it. I have two sons, two sisters and a brother that love me so I would never take my life no matter how bad it gets. Suicide is very selfish and effects our family's for the rest of there lives. The truth is when we feel suicidle we don't really want to end our lives we just want to end our pain. If we are dead we can never experience feeling well again so thinking about all that prevents me from doing such a thing

      i know but i had really bad sucidal thoughts.they became dangerous for me.i know there just thoughts but mine was plum out of control.it just got worse with time.it was matter of life and death.i know i went back to the same group of medicine and i will gradually come off this one it will be about a year of weaning down.maybe by then i will be over the effexor withdrawls
