I haven't posted recently but my 26 yr old son attempted suicide a couple of days ago. To make it worse we weren't notified till last night around 5 PM that he was in the ICU. He survived though we wondered how after hearing he took over 20 exrta strength excedrin drank both 3 in one oil and penetrating oil oouch! They did an endoscopy an found (thank goodness) only mild inflammation of esophagus and stomach lining.
His Diag was schizo affect. and has been for nearly ten years. Taking 15 mg of Zyprexa and 100 mg Zoloft. After talking to him last night we discovered it sounded like suicidal ideations were
what pushed him over the edge. I think maybe discontinuation of Zoloft is the first thing that will help. Interestingly enough his ideations coincide with a switch from Prozac to Zoloft.
Your thoughts?
