    September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day .

    Please hold on, anyone thinking of committing suicide.

    The only time I seriously considered it was during early waxing
    crescent moon in early July, 1992. At the time I was on
    lithium and haloperidol. I was going to take a full bottle of
    lithium, some cold or allergy medicine, and some alcohol.

    However after having a small amount of alcohol I felt a
    bit better and called my psychiatrist and he told me to stop
    taking the haloperidol. I did so, and after that I used haloperidol
    only as needed, not on a regular basis. (I am now on moderate
    doses of divalproex and olanzapine.)
