Venlafaxine

Melita
over 7 years ago

Hi all, 

Does anyone here have experience of the antidepressant venlafaxine making suicidal thoughts/ideation, hopelessness, anger, etc, worse while lifting mood? It appears we've swapped one set of symptoms for a couple of others which are just as dangerous! Getting the right monitoring from mental health services is proving impossible - I'm sure these drugs have made him more likely to attempt suicide than less likely.

Thank you :-)

    Thanks, Ferret - I've tried everything, but the support just isn't there - he wouldn't go to A+E. It's quite a complex situation - I have called 111 before but there are no specialist advisers or doctors available. I'm really asking if anyone here has experienced a worsening of suicidal thoughts on medication with their ASD children.
