If you spot the warning signs of suicide in someone you care about, you may wonder if it's a good idea to say anything. What if you're wrong? What if the person gets angry? In such situations, it's natural to feel uncomfortable or afraid. But anyone who talks about suicide or shows other warning signs needs immediate help—the sooner the better. You may talk to someone about their feelings, and it seems as though they want to end their life soon. Try to keep them safe in the short term. Dextropropoxyphene [4] is an analgesic in the opioid category, patented in 1955 [5] and manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company. It is an optical isomer of levopropoxyphene. It is intended to treat mild pain and also has antitussive (cough suppressant) and local anaesthetic effects. The drug has been taken off the market in Europe and the US due to concerns of fatal overdoses and heart arrhythmias. [6] It is still available in Australia, albeit with restrictions after an application by its manufacturer to review its proposed banning. [7] Its onset of analgesia (pain relief) is said to be 20–30 minutes and peak effects are seen about 1.5–2.0 hours after oral administration. [2]

'Taking your own life is never the right solution to any challenge you may be facing. If you are feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts or hopelessness, it's important to seek help.'
