Anti-Depressants?
Okay so i seriously believe i need to be put back on anti-depressants. i've been on them about 3 years ago. and once i got off of them i was fine...until about a week ago...i've been depressed for almost 2 weeks now and everyday suicide sounds so much better than continuing...it's like it's the answers to my prayers..dont lecture me on how suicide is bad and blah blah blah because i know...obviously i know. my real problem here is telling my mom. i'm too young to get the meds. myself and she'd know anyways. i dont want to tell my doctor especially because she'll ask alot of questions about why i'm having suicidal thoughts and all this bull and i cant give her a straight answer. I dont like talking about it. I just want the damn medicine without all the hassle. and no...i'm not addicted, i just dont like being treated like a psycho. what can i say to my mom and my doctor to let them both know i want to be put back on anti-depressants? thanks in advance!

Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
Get your self some Niacin you can get it at any GNC or vitamin shop.
It is why suicidal patients get better. Look it up.
Its your only option Most people will be totally cured from depression im a matter of weeks.
I have tried every thing there is and this is the only thing that works.
Dont stop taking it. With out Niacin it is impossible to get better.

Just tell them you want to be back on anti-depressants.
They are going to ask questions. The doctor would ask you the same questions if you where 32 years old. I have gone on and off SSRI's three times in my life and they ask the same questions every time. They just want to make sure that it really is depression and not anemia, your thyroid, or some other illness that is causing depression. Doctors will ALWAYS look to a physical cause of depression before assuming it is physiological. That is the exact opposite of treating you like a physco dear.
The good news is they probably wonâ??t ask nearly so many questions as they did the first time since you have experienced depression and been on medication before.
But you will not get any help unless you speak up, and medication is no quick fix. It takes weeks to work, so you'll likely be encouraged to get some counseling as well. Medication doesn't cure depression, it just treats it. Counseling is the only thing that can cure depression.
Just be clear with them both that medication is what you would like and answer their questions as honestly and as clearly as you can. Refusing to answer is what will make them unsure about giving you medications, if you are mature and upfront about everything, even the questions you donâ??t really know the answers too, they will be more likely to respect your opinion and choice and give you the anti-depressants.
One last thing. You probably haven't been feeling depressed for two weeks, it tends not to come on that fast. You probably first started feeling this way a month ago or more. The quicker you can identify these feelings and thoughts, the easier it is to ask for help and the quicker you can get the medication working for you. So think back and pay attention, if this is something you are going to have to live with you, you need to learn how to deal with it in the best possible way.

I agree with elcee I was on antidepressants and they messed me up more. Try Neuro ps, it is for brain function and mental stability, until I tried that I was out of my mind. Things are much better now. You can find it online or at vitamin world or maybe gnc both in the mall. Hope I helped!!

Can I suggest that you try a herbal remedy like St Johns Wort first before you ask for antidepressants again. You would need to go to a Natural Health shop where an assistant could talk you through the sort of thing you could try.
Failing that, unfortunately, you would have to explain to your doctor why you feel you need to go back on the medication.
As you have been doing so well until recently, is there a time to which you can point out the trigger for your suicidal feelings? Maybe if you found out what happened to make you feel so down then you may be able to work through it. You can do this yourself by writing everything down and going through what you have written. Once you have decided what may have caused your thoughts to turn again to suicide, you have a very good chance of dealing with that without the pills.
You are a lot stronger than you were three years ago and maturity can bring the satisfaction of dealing with life's problems without resorting to medication.
If you can, please tell your Mom how you are feeling right now because she will be feeling anxious if you are showing signs of being suicidal. She will have been through it before with you and will know what you need. She can be your crutch for a while because that is what a mother does. Us mothers would willingly give our own lives for our children if it would ease their pain. Let her into your world and she will be there for you.
I wish you all the very best and hope that you can see some light at the end of your tunnel. There are many, many people dedicated to helping others in this situation. Take this help. Good luck.
