Common Migraine, Epilepsy Drugs to Suicide
This is an interesting article, and on that should make us pay close attention to the drugs we take. When I was in my darkest place, where I had the means and method determined, I just didn't have the energy to write notes to my family, I was on high doses of one of these drugs.
There is one comment though that almost sent me over the edge:

There is one comment though that almost sent me over the edge:
Really, Dr. Grisolia? Untreated, chronic daily pain, doesn't raise the risk of suicide? Having that pain untreated because someone has determined that it is MOH because "sometimes" they are, doesn't eventually make you suicidal? Losing your job, your friends, being treated like dirt in ERs when you're in excruciating pain, wouldn't make you think that life isn't worth living? I'm sorry, I disagree with that statement.Migraines can really, really hurt but they don't increase your risk for suicide as far as we know," said Grisolia.

Re: Common Migraine, Epilepsy Drugs to Suicide
I agree Charlotte. Unending pain is hard to deal with. There have been many times when I wasn't actively thinking of suicide but was definitely thinking that I didn't care if I died. If that isn't the beginning and a strong sign of suicidal thoughts, then I don't know what is.
Some of the experts are just idiots.

Dr Grisolia, you probably missed a few of this:

http://www.findcounseling.com/help/news/2007/04/migrainesuicide_link_may_appear_as_early_as_middle_school.html
Perhaps the most startling result, though, was that suicide attempts were very much higher in migraine sufferers, especially in those with aura (Figure).

This makes me want to swear! I can't believe that anyone with any amount of common sense would be able to think such a thing. Clearly anyone living in constant pain is going to be a higher risk for suicide. This just makes me angry!
