So, I am back to irritable and frustrated again! The verapamil is helping a little still but the breakthrough rage and feelings of frustration and anger are still underlying every thing I do- I even irritate myself! So, my current meds are
5 mcg cytomel
10 mg Adderall XR
80 mg Verapamil 2-3 times per day
2 mg lunesta (to sleep)
10 mg Zyrtec (for allergies)
and a stool softener to combat the side effects of verapamil.....ANY suggestions Anyone? I hate the new person I have become- a lazy, angry, pathetic, short tempered witch (replace the w in witch with a b).
Therapy doesn't help so please don't go down that road- I have been in therapy FOREVER! This is definitely chemically related but what is going on here??????? I need some suggestions from those of you familiar with the neurotransmitters and the effects they have on the brain.... My brain is so messed up now I can't get back to normal (I should add, this is better than it was a few months ago- but still not worth living)I should add that, without the cytomel and adderall, I am one with the couch and can't work - so, I tried slowly increasing them (1 at a time) but this seems to be the highest dose I can take of either medication that is effective and without side effects.
