Hi. I'm a 45 year old daughter taking care of my 80 year old mother 24/7, going on year 4 now. I came back to life with cymbalta, then developed--for me--a severe anger problem. Started taking buspar for that, and ambien to sleep to see if that would help keep me on track during the day. My mother has never been a nice person, but that's life, and now that she is sick and in pain, she's very difficult and demanding. I snap in a nano second. I don't have time to step back and think about staying calm, or even getting mad for that matter. I'm a life long meditator and yoga person, and never experienced this kind of anger or lack of self-control. And I seem to be snapping more than getting better. But mostly only at her. Any advice out there on this? I really don't want to be like this.

Thanks,
Gena
