I originally wrote this a while ago but it was bumped up. Since that time I was started on anticonvulsants (divalproex) and it wasnt until I was weaned off them this week -day 3 of no meds now and WHAT a rough go that was - that I realized how flat they made me. I still had the underlying irritation, but rather than triggering in anger I cried and cried. I felt so depressed the past two months. So, today new med. ONE thing I will suggest if you have it in your area is DBT, and if you dont have it, ask your T about it. The Ts in our local health centre decided to learn and implement it over the past few years and now we have a very full DBT group. It mandates one one one therapy also and although I often find triggered by the therapists, but by bit I have found it very useful. Here it is a once/week two hour long program.
