Off meds I get suicidal. On Abilify I had some suicidal thoughts but never acted on them. Now on risperidone I never get depressed and never have suicidal thoughts. I never took an AD and was never diagnosed with depression eventhough before sz I tried to kill myself twice. Maybe my temporary depression is a reaction to positive symptoms cause when I was psychotic I wanted to end the sz suffering like voices by killing myself.

Interesting. I have to take AP and ad. I was diagnosed schizoaffective though, so probably cause there is the mood disorder component.
Same thing tho, suicidal before meds and on abilify. Which is bloody ironic cause they seem to just want me on abilify… But yeah I suffer with depression a lot, very pessimistic personality though I’m working on it or trying to anyways.

When I was only on resperidone I became extrremly suicidal and hospitalized
The medication stopped all my positive symptoms but stopped all my feelings also
I blamed the medication and asked my pdoc to change it
He changed it out of compassion but still said he disagreed it was making me suicidal

Now that I’m on olanzapine I don’t get suicidal anymore and I haven’t attempted suicide because of the voices since I was put on an antipsychotic.
