Specializes in Psychiatry

Depression, Anxiety: Your Life is Precious! Commend yourself for respecting your life and controlling your urges to cut. Thank you for informing about depression, Trazadone, Concerta and Ativan. Concerta is not for depression, it can cause emotional lability. Trazadone may cause suicidal ideation. See Psychiatrist soon, discuss gradual decrease of Concerta and Trazadone; use of Lexapro (escitalopram) or Wellbutrin; Therapy

Reaching out is good: Your post is of course distressing but also hopeful in that you are reaching out and not trapped in yourself. 400 characters will not suffice, however. You need compassionate human contact--friends, family, drs. clergy, no shame in ER crisis centers either. Keep the dialog going. What/who helped 6 mo ago?
