Sorry you're feeling depressed and suicidal
Well, if it is because you've been stuck in the house lately, then the logical thing is to leave the house and interact with people. If that makes you feel better, then you've found the cause. I know that you are struggling with anxiety/paranoia, but I am terrified out of the house most of the time, and I do it anyway. And then I feel a bit better about myself because I'm being more productive, instead of hiding under my duvet all day like I'd prefer. You have a dog, so take the dog with you for a walk (I always feel safer when I'm out with Max). Or go to the coffee shop and take your sketch pad or a book? Or go to a shop you like to look around? I like going to those pretty giftshops, but I know that you don't have a lot near by. Or you could go and say hello to your neighbours? Or you could go for a little picnic cos you live in the rural? Even if it is chemical, getting out should make you feel a bit better anyway.

That's a good point Punky.
Newtus, you need 4+ weeks of a continuous therapeutic dose before an AD will start helping (if it's going to help). I don't think you've reached that yet.
