I personally say, "relax", these meds have become an "escape goat" for those that will most likely suicide regardless of being on or off meds. everyone that will or will not accept the responsibility of such actions are so ready to accuse pharmaceutical companies and/or the docs who prescribe them, not saying there are exceptions.
I personally disagree (over years of "life" experiences) that the meds., even Accutane, for acne (I was on that too) cause a person to suicide, one must seek a mental health evaluation before accusing meds., docs., and manufacturers of such psycho pharmaceutical companies of one's downfall.
My best (and maybe unwanted) advice, is to talk thoroughly with the prescibing physician of what possible side effects may occur and then weigh them on the scale of "how helpful" the meds may be.
My final and possible contraversial opinion is, do not attack the pharmaceutical companies and the prescibing physician, it is our own responsibilty to ask questions.

Please take care,
