there's always been a concern about anti-depressants and initial suicide. This is because the anti-depressant will often lift energy levels before it lifts mood (mood effects usually 3-4 weeks, supposedly faster with paxil). So a person may still have very low mood but has the energy to act.. i.e commit suicide.

The depressed patient who starts taking anti-depressants and all of a sudden claims to be cured! is one of the biggest reg flags in psychiatry. This person is happy because they've decided to kill themself, and their problems therefore solved.

edit: oh eros already said this

.. maybe i'll read the whole thread next time
