Suicidal after medication
So my mother got diagnosed with depression and sever anxiety. The doctor prescribed "rexipra LS" as the anti depressant. But just after starting the medicine, from the next day she started having suicidal urges. These urges are pretty severe. I told this to my doctor and he said she had these urges previously as well but she's expressing it now. But I asked my mother and she said it started after the medicine. What should I do now.

Such symptoms are expected in initial days after starting medication. You need to monitor patient very closely. Symptoms should go down in a few days. If not, consider admission.

Antidepressants Medication doesn’t shows its effect in a day.
Suicidal urges can be considered to be progression of disease which may require consultation again with psychiatrist.
