S**cidal & h***cidal ideation
I’ve been on Abilify for a week now, and I started having these thoughts. My dose is less than 0,5 ml/day.
I had s**cidal thoughts before Abilify, but now they became more graphic. As for the h***codal ones, never had this issue before starting this meditation.
They mostly appear in my head when my thinking is already negative or at the sight of random kitchen objects. I told my psychiatrist about it, and she said that I’m unwell, and we need to wait until the medication shows its full effect (I’m also taking Fluoxetine). She seems to be a knowledgeable doctor, so I want to trust her, but I’m also concerned about these thoughts as the leaflet that comes with Abilify says to stop taking this meditation if thoughts like this appear in one’s head.
At the same time, I’m hesitant to stop this medication, because it’s been only a week, and maybe it helps me in the end. I also feel like I can control these thoughts (i.e., by positive self-talk out loud, distraction, etc.)
Have you experienced something similar? Does it go away? Do you remain in control of your thoughts and impulses as you continue w/ this medication?
Huge thank you in advance.
