I have been taking anti-depressants for around 2 months. And for a while they actually helped me…but they are doing the exact opoisite of what they should be doin rite now. They have put me into a worse depression than i have ever been in, and i want to die more than ever. Now, i cry every single nite, i have started cuttin again, and im thinkin bout suicide more than ever. I dont know why this is happenin 2 me. Is it normal for anti-depressants to backfire eventually and make you more depressed and suicidal?

Yes, it is very common for antidepressants to stop working or even make you more depressed. Please, please, PLEASE talk to your psychiatrist IMMEDIATELY — they will help you find the drug that works for you and prevent you from harming yourself. I’ve known many friends to whom this has happened, and their doctors always managed to clear it up. They’ll change your prescription and help you through this bad time.
Right now, your brain is chemically unbalanced and it’s making you miserable and suicidal; there’s nothing wrong with you. You just need the right medicine to treat your illness, just like a diabetic person needs insulin.
