I was pondering whether to post... and finally decided to go ahead. So at the risk of jinxing it, I am taking meds to save my life. I am statistically at high risk of suicide because the best predictor of suicide is a prior suicide attempt. Unfortunately, I react with suicidality to major situational difficulties. The combo of Lithium+Prozac, knock on wood, seems to be doing the trick. Prozac does not even produce side effects if it is carefully balanced out with anti-manic agents. So why not take such a good combination of meds that can be life-saving? What is the purpose in denying oneself help?
