      Nope I’m pissed about the downvote too. I get the rage, I have been dealing that and we’ve been tweaking my meds for a few months now. I’ve gotten snippy at work with my boss the last month, especially Friday. Like fireable rage I said NO to her. Oops. I’m sorry you are having such a problem with the VA. The one here is phenomenal which my dad goes to, but I have read horror stories about others especially with mental health. That’s not right. I don’t get the fun mania either, it’s all rage. Lost my last marriage because of it (undiagnosed therefore self medicated)

          Geodon changed my life in less than 48 hours. It’s amazing what can be done with the correct diagnosis. Be aware that lots of mental health meds cause weight gain… I’ve been struggling the last six months especially trying to lose and it refuses to come off. My therapist says isn’t my stability worth more than my weight? And she’s right. Ugh.

      My therapist thinks I’m bipolar. Before I saw her my pcp had me on Lexapro. I changed overtime in a similar way. I started drinking regularly and heavily. Spent the night in jail… Ended up tapering off Lexapro without talking to the doc about it. And I am much calmer. My therapist told me that with bipolar ssris have a tendency to make it worse. I had thought the Lexapro was working in the begining but idk… It just put me in the fucked up state of willing to fight over anything. And it all falls apart because then people start hating you.
