Y'ALL ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS: HAS BEING OFF YOUR MEDS AT ANY TIME MADE YOU GENUINELY WANT TO DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL? [+] ballot by xxxxxxxx ACTIVE Tue Dec 27, 05 - Sun Sep 21, 08 I ask this because former All-Star pitcher Jeff Reardon committed armed robbery -- ARMED ROBBERY -- and claimed that it was due (at least in part) to the fact that he wasn't taking his antidepressant medicine. Okay, I suffer from depression (though it's quite under control and really feel no ill effects at the moment), and there was a point where the doctor changed my medicine to something that had no effect on me whatsoever and then the doctor changed the prescription to Lexapro (which does the trick) a couple months later. This is the closest I've ever come to being off an antidepressant since I was diagnosed during the awful summer of 2001. When I was on the medicine that did nothing for me, I never felt like committing a crime -- even when I was seriously depressed in 2001 I didn't feel like doing anything that would be rationally considered criminal. So, y'all with depression, have you ever felt like genuinely committing a crime when off your medicine? (And I mean GENUINELY wanting to -- not "I'd like to kill him" like you wished he didn't exist, but "I'd like to kill him" like you can easily picture yourself slashing someone's throat) While I understand there are different degrees of depression, I can't see myself actually committing a bonafide crime just due to being off my meds. But some do that, apparently. Also, if you would, what would you do. No I've never had the urge to do anything illegal for those reasons. Yes I have -- I wanted to rob a jewelry store. Yes, the 'crime' of suicide. Yes, I like to destroy others property Ballot #85014 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
