Increased Impulsiveness At The Root Of SSRI Suicide Risk?????????

[Guest guest]

I took Effexor for a little while and what I noticed right away was

that it inhibited my natural fear response...the good kind of fear.

I found myself coming up with crazy ideas and impulses, stuff which

without the drug I guess I would inhibit somehow.

So whether SSRI's increase suicidal thoughts etc I don't know but if

people are depressed and suicidal to begin with (duh!) then what

these drugs seem to do is supress any natural tendency to 'not act'

on certain impulses.

So I wouldn't say that they make people more suicidal. I would say

that they make people much more impulsive and if one is suicidal to

begin with then there's the connection!

If anything, I would say these drugs lead to an increase in risk

taking behaviors.
