Cat86 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I would just say, see how you feel when driving- do you feel completely in control/not distracted? If no, then dont do it... its not just your life you're putting at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contax Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 I went out in car to shops Monday evening, as soon as I started driving I felt in control and had no problems, nice to have some fresh food. I booked to see doctor next Monday so see how he feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Is the OP suggesting depression with suicidal thoughts? In that case me sure you dont get behind the wheel in that state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contax Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 If suicide it would not be with a car, firstly it would be an uncertain option due to protection and air bags in cars, secondly it would be wrong to involve other people and destroy their lives. Saying that I approve of euthanasia option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contax Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Went back to Docs this week and he says ok to drive if I feel ok as I have been on the Dosulepin 75mg for a month without any problems, so now on repeat prescription as he said he could see I had improved.
