[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 123257, member: 1550"] This is just my opinion, as one who would have killed herself without my medications. There are very small risks of suicide in many psychiatric drugs. But some of us need these very medications to live a functional life. Psychiatric disorders alone cause high suicide rates. I don't pay much attention to these warnings. I know what helps me and, if I had kids on medications, I would just carefully watch them. It's the lesser of two evils. The suicide rate for unmedicated bipolar is higher than from the medications--considerably so. In fact a full 60% of unmedicated bipolars will make suicide attempts and quite a few will succeed.
