I dont know about trazadone, but zoloft is an antidepresant and ativan is a tranquilizer, meant to be taken when you have a panic attack.

hey, i know what you are going through.. the same thing happened to me... as to your questions:

 

what happened to me is i went to a mental hospital for a week, staying there while things were 'sorted out.' i imagine, if anything at all, that is what will happen. regardless, if they do send you a 'away' you will be return... i know i felt, odd, when i went, but i hope it does get better (and stays better) for you...

Well, I don´t know what they might do with you, because I don´t know the law of your country and most of you guys are underaged and that´s more complicated; but I´ll tell you a bit about my experience.

 

I´m 18 and I live alone in a city away from home because of college, so I haven´t had much trouble with hiding my cutting and drepression since I don´t dee my family very often. I went to a psycheatrist all by myself and I´ve been taking Zoloft for 2 months, I started feeling the effects about 4-3 weeks ago, and though my moods haven´t entirely stablelized I am sooooooooooo much better.

This tuesday I celebrated a month without cutting, after having done it almost daily for the previous 8 months.

 

I was very aprehensive about taking meds because I thought they would just dope me, that they would stop the pain by stopping all feelings and I also thought they could be addictive, but at least in my case these fear turned out to be false, I´m ME again, the person I used to be before depression, and the pill isn´t addictive, acually I´ve forgotten to take it a couple of times , because it doesn´t have immediate but longterm effects.

 

Give the meds a shot, it ok to be a little scared of them, but they do work.

Excellent news - baby steps eventually bring about a huge change. Keep taking them and you will get there, and love it once you do
