Anyway long story short, I haven't had much irritability since they started me on meds for BP. So I really hope that you can get on meds and leveled out soon. Keep on going, there is hope.

I've had bad reactions to antidepressants as well, and am currently not taking any almost completely because of that.
Also, I too am much more irritable when "up" than when I'm not. It's quite bad. For example, my friends' little quirks that don't usually bother me, or sometimes, ones that I even like just rub me the wrong way and I snap. My best friend has come to learn limits with me. He can tell if he's gone too far and will then immediately back off.
...anyway...right now, my main problem is lack of motivation related to excessive tiredness. I just don't really want to do much of anything. I am in a bit of a better mood though...definitely more "normal" than I have been lately.
