Having taken Serzone, I found it very helpful, but it took a couple of weeks to really make a difference in my mood. Also, she is right that you should tell your psychologist immediately that you are having suicidal urges. The reliance on one friend is understandable; it's hard when this friend can't meet all your needs. Please feel free to use the online support people here until you can broaden your social circle, and call your psychologist! Having felt suicidal before myself, I know that it is compelling, but also that the urges will pass and later you will be glad you asked for help.--Cindy W
