Suicidal thoughts could be a side effect of medication. Read the instruction pages. You should tell your therapist about it Im sure he/she will know what is best to do

I am sorry you are going through this. Have you asked your Dr? Whoever prescribes the medications for you. Speaking with someone can clear up if these are really suicidal thoughts or just side effects of your medicine. Please know that you are worthy. Have some self-worth, because you are here for a purpose. I am encouraged for you reaching out. You are strong and thank you for being yourself. You are never alone.

In my opinion more should be done to prevent suicide. They have very opposing viewpoints on the matter. Antidepressants can lead to out of control Behavior. FDA warned that it can happen within a small percentage of children and adults. However men are more at risk of doing suicidal acts because of lack of support where women they come together and congregate in groups and provide support more easily. It's all about knowing what stage of mind that you're in I think you need to gauge where you at in your overall therapy. If you do not have a therapist at current I believe you should seek advice.
