I agree with you. I do not think a suicidal person should have access to meds like these. Even the 1983 drug guide warns about a suicidal patient having access to them. It also says ECT patients should not take them.
A suicidal person is not in his right mind. Everything must be done to protect him, even if it means treating him as a child. He should not have access to the meds.
Thanks for your kind words...I appreciate it.
