[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 158179, member: 1498"] Many of the articles I was looking at last night indicated there was an association with akathisia and suicidal ideation. Based on my own experiences, my son's and what I've read about this suicide-medication connection, I have to say that attempting suicide is often a impulsive, [I]compulsive[/I] act....there is no true choice in the matter. The idea that everyone who attempts or thinks about suicide is overwhelmed by depression is simply false. Truth be told, it is entirely possible to feel the compulsion to attempt suicide without there being any depression present at all. Your son is telling you that the drugs he is taking are making him feel strange. He has confided to you that he has suicidal thoughts and that he is craving substances he knows he shouldn't use. He is desperately seeking your help to make him feel better -- think better -- because he wants those thoughts to stop. They aren't really him. You have one scared kid there. Telling him to make better choices or your further involving the juvenile justice system isn't the answer. [/QUOTE]
