In reply to Suicide.....on Effexor, posted by Jen111111111 on November 15, 2000, at 21:38:14
I can relate to your situation about witnessing a loved one pass in such a tragic manner and also about the thoughts of death being there. I am on Effexor too and I found that .25 (extremely low dose)of risperdal has helped to keep my mood from sinking too low. It also stops the obsessing about suicide. Why don't you ask your doc about rispedal at a low dose. It worked wonders for me. I only get fleeting thoughts now-they leave fast. I know these holidays are hard too but Happy Thanksgiving to you, Jen, and to anyone who reads this, too. Things can improve, remember it will get better, it will get better, it will get better-there's something to obsess on! Take care and remember that doctor is there to help and call whenever you need him. r.anne.
