suicidal thoughts a month into taking Citalopram

[theharvestmouse]

I thought I had passed through this stage in the first week or so, I had some mild suicidal thoughts back then, that passed after the first week to 10 days. But in the last week they have returned, not sure what brought it on but I think its because of the death of Gary Speed. The subject of depression and suicide has widely been discussed and I starting thinking about it again.

I'm not having severe thoughts and I do not think that I'm in danger of doing anything but its just worrying me that I have returned to a place I thought I had left behind.

My anxiety has reduced a bit but I just feel very unhappy and have had these negative thoughts. Could it just be another phase because of the medication.

If it carries on I will have to tell my GP or therapist.

no I'm still on 20mg, I think its more to do with my life and how I need to do something or else I will carry on being unhappy. I just hope it does not progress into depression, I have experienced depression episodes and its the worst thing I've ever been through.
