I totally sympathize with your irritability illness...

There is an idea of taking fluoxetine at irregular intervals for irritability because of its long half-life: (http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Fluoxetine-for-irritabilit.html)

Regardless of whether you're bipolar or not, Lamictal or Neurontin could help you, due to their effects on GABA and/or serotonin/NA channels. I've heard many success stories from non-bipolars who have been switched from standard antidepressants to newer mood stabilizers like Neurontin: http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.gabapentin.html

Another idea if you really cannot tolerate standard meds for any disorder is to go on something like BuSpar (the tylenol of psychotropics). http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Buspirone-to-augment-antid.html

The best of luck and health to you and your family this season...
