I am currently on Lexapro, which was working ok but my PCP put me on abilify as a booster and I haven't felt this good in years. I would definetly get her into counceling with a therapist, where she can maybe talk things out. I can definatly understand where she is coming from. Keep us posted.Good Luck and GOD Bless!!
I, personally, had a not so pleasant reaction to AD's the last time I was on them. I didn't wait to contact my dr, and ask to go off of them. Of course, it wasn't a problem. I was instructed how to taper down.

Certain psychological conditions do not work well with AD's and suicidal ideation isn't far fetched. What did he dr's say, when you called to tell them she wants to die?

Keep us posted.

Once you notify the dr, they make a note in the chart about a severe 'allergic' reaction to these meds. Then, you can contact the fda, yourself, if you aren't certain that they will. And that is how to begin the process to have these medicines investigated.

Default Anti-depressants/ psychiatric medication

I will not touch any of those medications now. I was tried on them years ago. Since that time I was in a motor vehicle accident that injured me severely. I have had to apply for disability and was denied. They held it against me that I will not take these drugs even though I am claiming severe depression. They hold it against me that I take pain medication to control chronic pain. In their opinion I am not doing all I could to get better. I did try these anti-depressants (at least 15 different kinds) each time I had a horrible experience on them. The last two that I was tried on actually made me psychotic and I ended up in the psych ward. I know how these medications effected me and that the effects were from the medications. I never had problems of this sort before taking the medication and it was only after a very short time on the medication that I had these problems. I made the mistake of just throwing them away instead of tapering down and that was when I had the psychotic reaction. Do not just stop taking these medications abruptly. I warn you. You must taper them down to get off them. I didn't because I was so scared of how they made me feel and I think I damaged my brain from just stopping them abruptly. I would get your wife tapered off any anti-depressant, psychiatric medication ASAP. Let us know how it is going will you? I am worried about you both and your daughter.
