Shall I stop taking my antidepressants? - eviltoast

They don’t really work and besides a few days of feelign like shit with brain zaps I’m not sure why I bother?

Best case scenario I become suicidal again and kill myself.

Thoughts?

    All the answers will (or should) be along the same lines.

    Don’t stop any medication without speaking to your GP and that is especially so for antidepressants. You may not think they are working but stopping cold can be hard. There are a lot of different pills available and it can often be a case of trying a different one and seeing if that works better. Also don’t be afraid to ask for this to be escalated to mental health services.
