Fycompa and suicide ideation?
Tue, 08/30/2016 - 18:48Topic: Medication Issues
Anyone else experiencing suicidal feelings on Fycompa? There's a difference between thinking about suicide in the abstract sense and actually "contemplating" it. I think the drug might have pushed me from the former to the latter.
I know that drug warning labels contain a huge list of possible "side effects" which they list, even if a small number of people in the studies reported these side effects. Maybe I'm blaming the drug for my personal problems, but last time I spoke to her on the phone, the nurse at the neurologist's office asked me that specifically about "Fycompa". Of course I said "no" because I want to try it out.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed these types of thoughts.
