Been off weed for a week now and changed from citalopram to sertraline today. I been having suicidal thoughts and had a breakdown earlier I am in bits and don't know how I can move forward. I been seeing a girl I really care about and for the last few weeks I have been paranoid and anxious and its pushed her away rolleyes she hardly wants to speak to me now and I think she wants to not see me know more but she says she still does. I care about her so much and if I lose her after putting all the effort in at the start its going to finish me I dunno how I will cope or move forward I am rock bottom and lonely friends and family don't want to know.

In a small group of people (especially young people) SSRI antidepressants have a suicide side effect. They make me more anxious.

It's not nice for you if you feel you don't have support from family and friends.

Go have a chat with your doctor and tell him/her how you are feeling.

Be careful with the weed, that can make you anxious and paranoid, especially the skunk. very potent and I think dangerous stuff. It's not normal the way they grow it.

Good luck

Hi Jon. Be kinder to yourself. Changing meds can be a rocky time. You need rest and calm and support. There's a great app on this site that helps to change negative thoughts into positive ones. It's called companion and I use it all the time. Can you ask your doctor for some CBT while you are going through this. I think talking to someone impartial would be very helpful. Good luck and always post on here if you need to. Xx

Hi Jon

I would see your doc and talk to him about sertraline and the effects

sertraline young males has a higher correlation with suicidal thoughts actions

you need to ask for a referral to a psychiatrist to find the necessary route to de paranoia you as weed has effected you badly please stay off it it is not the harmless drug its sold as

step 1 see doc

step 2 recognise your illness and understand the effects on others

step 3 give yourself a break from your gf you sent well enough to be the real you get better and then approach her again
