Please excuse the interruption...

Nice thread, Twinleaf. I am happy to see this forum utilized in this fashion.

> I have Lamictal on my list as the next thing I would try if I became suicidal again - it's definitely one of the most well- thought- of medications.

I would mention that Lamictal can take 4 weeks to arrive at an effective dosage so as to avoid the precipitation of the rash-reaction. If you are in a suicidal state that is so acute that you do not feel safe, Zyprexa is probably the fastest-acting anti-suicide drug available. It can be used as a temporary bridge until the Lamictal takes effect. Klonopin would be another drug to consider to fill this role. Perhaps low-dose lithium would help prevent an acute relapse into depression.

That's all I have to say about that.
