I'm losing my mind. I am a recovering addict who has been taking anti depressiant pills. Was on them for a mo ran out and I just now got back on them. I am taking effexor.

the thing is when I started taking them my husband claims I went crazy and started yelling and screaming and threthened to kill my self. Them it passed and i started feeling better. Now , i was off them for 2 wks and just got back on them and everything is coming apart at the seem again. I'm having suacidal thoughts and going crazy . My husband claims it's them meds bc I never have thoughts of killing or hurting my self. Just all of a sudden. I know I want do it but its scaring the hell out of me. I know I need this medicine but the thoughts and the anger, just want go away. Does anyone else have these probs with this medication and will it pass. I'v tried contacting my preacher but hes unavailable at the time. This place is the only thing I have to turn to.Please responed.

    Sweetlies, okay here is the scoop I know I am taking Cymbalta 60mg a day, sometimes 120mg depending on my depressive state, I went for three days without them and almost killed my wife , two dogs and my daughter, I am not joking! I flipped out, like a crazy insane barbituate man who went off the coastal end of the world. Anti-d's can be a scary thing, maintaining a constant dose is a must, and may I recommend Trazadone, in addition to what you are taking this helps calm things down, also we need to keep in mind here that anti-d's along with pain meds can be an ugly combination so make sure you are constantly in a secure safe enviroment. We are here to help you.
