I just... can anyone shine a light onto why this is happening now? Can anyone give me advice on dealing with the flashbacks, irritability, and other symptoms. Also I am on meds. I take:
Trileptal, Invega, Lexapro, and Adderall.
My panic disorder seems to have returned as well.
Thanks for listening, I really needed to get this out there.

The meds I know nothing about. The panic and the flashbacks are related. When I get into those states I try to distract myself with literally anything to stop thinking. Sometimes I lose and sometimes I win.
Can you identify what is making you irritable? Have your meds changed at all recently? I wish there was something concrete I could say to make it go away for you but it's different with everyone. Are you in therapy?
Keep posting - if nothing else you may gain some insights from your own words.
I'm really sorry and you are in my thoughts...wish I could be more helpful...
