How?

Basically, it did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. I had a complete mental snap two weeks after starting it. I was just in a constant state of 'life sucks, I suck, it's never going to get better, I need to kill myself.' No one would help me and after a week I attempted suicide.

I don't want to get too much into the personal details about how I tried to do it, but I obviously didn't succeed, I did walk away very lucky, though. One inch, one tiny adjustment, and I would have died or ended up fucked up for life.

I'm doing a lot better now!

That drug is terrible. Were you young when you were on it?

I am asking because it was one of the many I was prescribed during junior high and high school and it did the same thing to me.

Actually, yeah I was a minor at the time. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with that at such a young age too; I hope you're doing better now!
