Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Bob, I know what you mean about getting angry easy over little stuff. I don't remember if you are on treatment...but, I found this same thing happening to me about a month after starting the combo. I would obsess over the littliest situations. I let my doctor know right away when I turned into " the bitch monster from hell " ! Unfortunately, I have been on 3 anti-depressants: Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and now the dr. has me on Serzone. Dr. told me that it takes about 4 weeks for these daily doses to build up enough in a person's body to become effective. I just try to keep my mouth shut at work and at home and just smile. I just take these med's once a day when I have to swallow all my other combo pills. It is no big deal. I liked Zoloft because it had virtually no bad effects on me, but had to switch to Wellbutrin because Zoloft interacts with my migraine medication. I did not tolerate Wellbutrin at all. Made me so sick I'd rather just turn into the " monster " . I have only been on the Serzone 2 days...so have to wait and see. Hope this helps. I don't know of any medication that works fast on moods for occasional use. My mom is a manic depressive and the dr. has never found anything that works on her short term either. She is on Lithium and eal. eal is an anti-psychotic. I think poor mom has a bit of schitzophrenia (spelling?) too, but is fine as long as she takes her med's.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 I had a hard time with " combo rage " on treatment, not as hard as some but enough lol. And just now I'm seeing myself ablet o calm myself more like I used to be able to, and not stay upset even when intellectually I know it's silly. I took Zoloft, Celexa and Effexor, not at the same time haha. You just have to find what works for you, and remember it's only temporary. I know sometimes I'd love to just zonk myself out and let the world go by till I felt better. Kind of a " time out " . Let us know what works for you (I avoid tranqs, they make me angry, dunno why) alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
