The first time I started taking antidepressants I had an excellent plain English type of doctor. She said that when you start taking the antidepressants and start to feel a little better, but still depressed and suicidal but you have energy that you did not have when you were laying in bed too depressed to move, you may be more inclined to carry out the act of suicide because you finally have the energy to do so, whereas before you started taking the antidepressant, you had no energy to carry out the act.
I've worded it poorly, but that is the jist of how it was explained to me. Years and years ago, long before the warning for children and teens, so there must have been information out there that this might be a problem.
