I am crying at the drop of a hat right about now and yesterday when my bluetooth connection in my car didn't repeat a phone number to dial back correctly, I called the lady's voice in my car speakers a stupid b****! The only thing she had to say about it was, "mis recogntion"!!
> I do feel like that is getting somewhat better but I am only on day 9 so it might be wishful thinking on my part. Please keep updating on your journey. I have a lot of pluses with this med, but snapping at people all the time is not going to work if it won't go away.

> LisaHi Lisa, today is day 14. The rage and sobbing are nothing new, it is a hallmark of whatever my condition is. Not really sure sometimes...I am thinking that the sri's I was on for so long disconnected me from my feelings, and that is how they work. My feelings were too much. I am really happy to have most of them back right now. But not the rage thing. For me, it comes from feeling a presssure, like being late, if I have to rush I feel my whole body gearing up like it is life or death. Or what I percieve as too many demands from me at once which if you knew my life..it is ridiculous,not real. It is getting steadily better and I have thought about lamictal too, in the event it is some kind of hypomnia although I have always thought of it as anxiety and who know the difference anyway or what difference does it make as long as whatever tx works. Klonopin has helped the most with this sort of thing but is somewhat of a mood stabilizer but probably not at the low dose I take. I will take something like lamictal even though I have down that in the past and it seemed to have no effect on the anxiety but that may have had something to do with interactions with other meds who knows. I have always cried easily, felt deeply and intensely and alot of times that is so painful but on the flip side I do not want to give up the feeling of whatever that is I feel when I witness or am a part of something magnificent and that may just be some music that moves me. agh, I am going on again.
I had just been to the pdoc yesterday and telling her how much bette I am feeling and then from there I go to a super Target I had never been to before and got so disoriented and confused I had to leave. That was a little scary. I can see another lamictal trial in the future...Donna
