I have been put on Aripiprazole and Risperdal and my brain has turned ultra emo. Of course, a bunch of sh***y things have happened, so it must partially be that. Can those meds cause obsessive suicidal thoughts? I basically spend most of the day in a coma and when Im awake im wanting to die.

I do not know specific side effects of different meds, but it is very well known that some meds can seriously alter ones moods and thoughts so let yourdoctors knkw about it as they may beableto put you on a lesser dose or on a differet form of medication instead.
