Anna and Darkeyes,
I have to wonder if there is a medication that can be helpful. I am on Wellbutrin right now. It has had no affect as far as the SI goes. It helped to raise my overall mood level but when I get triggered it doesn't help at all. I still SI and I still get suicidal thoughts. Perhaps there is a med that can be taken at the time of being triggered but I would imagine that it would be highly addictive which causes problems as well--such as ativan which works great but ask your pdoc for some when you aren't about to kill yourself and he will just laugh at you. Sigh. I have also tried the mood stablizer topamax but that just about did me in. I felt so dead that I...well anyway we don't need to go there, lets just say my pdoc decided that was not a direction we wanted to continue to travel along.

I need to think on this awhile. I have an itch at the back of my brain on this topic but am not able to make it come forward and make a coherent thought. Grr. I hate that.
