When I was on Paxil, for the longest time I would think about suicide constantly. It was those intrusive/ruminating thoughts. I had never had that before. I had thought about suicide, and if I got really stressed, I would be upset and crying and want to do it, have the impulse. But, when I was on that medication (when I wasn't on a "mood stabilizer" and a benzo with it) it became a much less emotional thing for me (apathy) and I thought about it several times a day, and HOW I would do it, and actually picturing myself after I had done it, who I would give my stuff to, etc. Before I was on AD's I was sleeping all the time and was in some odd depressed state, but after the AD's I was totally apathetic to the point of scaring myself. It was different, but not better I don't think.
