Could trigger !

Someone i known (we are presuming due to the method) took their life yesterday, such a lovely person, battled with depression.
Has put me in such a weird place, feeling really down and sad.
I Started on antidepressants two weeks ago and up to yesterday was sort of managing, is it ok to increase the dose to help get past these feelings?

Talk to your pdoc or general practitioner about it. Most AD can take up to a month to really start working. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Talk to your doc first, though. AD's don't typically work by boosting their effect (at least not right away) if you increase your dose.
