It depends on the: Type of antidepressants. Some can be quite lethal - others are not. Are you considering overdosing? If you are, please get help. If you have a strong urge to kill yourself please have a friend or relative take you to the nearest emergency room or call 911 for emergency services. If you have taken an overdose -call 911. There is always hope. A psychiatrist or a psychologist can provide therapy.
