You're right latte, anger episodes are a side effect of the TCA I'm currently on. Doc gave me Buspar for the anger and it isn't doing anything. If anything, i'm more irritable than before. It's like perpetual PMS. Snapping, bitchy, you know?
Very sensitive to any sort of criticism too. I jump down people's throats and hold grudges.
I won't give up the TCA because it has other benefits that I really like. I just wish sometimes that I could be like that guy in the movie Office Space and let everyone "have it"
thanks for the input lattecrzy
Oh, BTW, I'm crazy about latte's too.
tina> Anger episodes you may know could come from medications that you are taking. I don't know the side effects that come any particular medication, but it would be good for you to check into it.
