Withdrawl from antidperessants can happen after the first dose! Lilly probably took her down from like 200mg to 0 in a day or two.

If people don't want to be on drugs, and they want to off themselves, so what? Its their life.
If life on the drugs was honestly better, then they'd stay on the drugs, thats my take. People usually come off the drugs because they're not working, or that they feel better off them.
If I was to off myself, I don't think drugs would make a difference. Infact the times that I came closest was when I was on these drugs. Lithium is one of the only drugs that has any proven antisuicide effect, the case for other drugs is highly equivocol.

Yeah, well I don't think much of them either.
