hey po_thang,
i'm sorry that you're going through this right now.
i would suggest getting all your support people to know what you're going through. they should be able to remind you that the scary stuff is temporary. when all of those drugs rush out of your body, sudden mood changes are typical.
i'm also going to suggest doing some really positive things for yourself right now. eat healthy, but go ahead and give in to those carbohydrate cravings -- that's your brain looking for material to build seratonin with. Also, avoid watching or reading the news or anything negative. Instead, dig out your positive, favorite music, some good books, and comedy videos. Even treating yourself to a nice room with a couple lit candles and some relaxing music can help you focus on soothing thoughts and work through the pain.
Good luck, and remember, I'm praying for ya.
