My friend is suicidal after a break-up. He is taking Prozac. Is it safe for him? What can I do to help?

The best thing is to stay close, don't accept any excuses from him until you can see he is in good shape, happy, and ready to live his life.

Depressed people won't realize that tomorrow is a better day, that love will come back again, even 10 times better next time around.

Depressed people only see failure. They are afraid to take chances and risk again. They assume to fail again.

You need to change their point of view. Give hope, future, life. Ask him if he had a great relationship before, he is going to find a better relationship again. The right person will come along. You have to try, and take chances again and again and again.

One thing about Prozac that you need to know. This drug might have more negatives aspects to it than positive effect. This drug will give you a temporary relief, but in a long run it makes you like a jelly. It leaves you with a numb feeling that you can't make any decisions anymore.
I like you to encourage him to make himself strong in
body, mind and spirit.  
In
Body; Everyday take daily multiple vitamin, to balance the chemicals in the body and make a better environment to fight the depression. When body is under stress it tend to burn more vitamin C, you  might see gum bleeding and lose of hair, therefore you need to take additional vitamin C (1000mg/3 times daily with food). Maintaining good nutrition, diet, and exercise is a must for every stage of life. 
In
Mind; To built himself a stronger person, to fight back, and to help others with the experiences he has gain. 
In
Spirit; To have hope, faith, feel the value of life, and another opportunity that he has to explore for a better future.

Depressed over breakups

Depression

No More Failure,
