I agree with you, gilhooly!!
I was on zoloft amongst many others and decided to stop taking them because as much as it made me feel ok for once, it also made me feel nothing.
As for suicide, I tried several times.
Couple of times, I took every single pill I had and downed it with alcohol.
I woke up twitching and throwing up and drowsy for days.
Then I threw myself in front of cars.
Again, failed attempt but people called the cops on me, and got tied down and shipped off to a mental hospital.
And not to mention the irresistible lure of the train/ subway when you are depressed.
In tokyo it is so easy to just throw yourself off the platform and die.
But you ( your family) will get a huge bill from the train company later, so its not a very cost effective way to go.
I am glad that I havent thought about suicide in many years now.
