Answer 1

you really need to talk to your parents because you need a new psychiatrist and different meds.  don't be afraid of hurting their feelings.  they will be more hurt if you hurt yourself and don't talk to them.  death is not the only way out.

Answer 2

It helped me when I was suicidal.

Call 1-800-273 TALK. They will talk to you for as long as you need it.

There are people who care. Yahoo has groups for different things that depress you. They really helped me. If you want me to help you find one, email me.  

Answer 3

not right away it wouldn't...but it could damage your liver enough that you would suffer the long agonizing death of liver failure...don't recommend it.

Answer 4

That drug has many side effects. You might develop neuroleptic malignant syndrome for one, and you might die from that which is VERY painful and slow and deadly.  Why not talk to your psychiatrist again, or call a suicide prevention hotline. Trust me you will hurt your parents more by taking your life. Maybe it's time to change therapists if you feel your current one is not meeting your needs. Suicide is never the right way out. Can you find some sort of support group to join?Please don't do it.
