Hi...first time here and don't know if I'll be doing everything right but bear with me please.
For many years I was on tegretol 1200 mgs re a facial nerve disaster brought on by a dental injection...this was to calm the twitching etc..plus 60 mgs of prozac for severe depression.
Now, for about the past eight years I've been on 20 mgs of prozac. I decided to stop it as I wasn't really 'depressed'but was having horrible outbursts of anger...usualy directed at my daughter (16) and her Dad. I turned into Satan...vulgar and yelling and saying hurtful crazy things. Anyway, went to a Dr. after having no drug for two months but increasing anger and she gave me clonazepam .5 twice daily. I'm not as 'possessed', but waiting to see a psychologist...I'm wondering if I shouldn't be seeing a shrink as I want to be 'labelled' correctly re the right drug. My family all suffers from some form of depressive illness/bi-p
etc. I really feel this 'anxiety'(lol) is not just the start of menopause and I'm really frightened.
I'm a total nutcase..yes somewhat depressed..but more angry. (daughter is wonderful so don't know why she takes the brunt of this) I actually raised my hand to her and threw a magazine at her one day...for nothing really..and had a case or two of road rage...I'm worried I'll hurt someone
re my lack of control. The clonaz is taming me a bit, though the depression seems more tears of late...it's only been two weeks. Maybe I'll get even better. What causes this rage? I get the feeling the new Dr. thinks I just need someone to talk with while I'm feeling I must have a brain tumor(wishful thinking) (I mean I need a solid diagnosis) to cause such a difference in my personality. I'm feeling afraid and ashamed and in dire need of help. Please ...any suggestions?
