The anger came on gradually. At first, WB catapulted me out of the depression and gave me lots of energy. But as the weeks went by, I became more agitated and hostile. I couldn't figure out why. Then one day I was chatting with a co-worker who had the same reaction, and the light bulb came on. I went off of it on my own (stupid idea) and promptly became a weepy hot mess. So I went back on, and the same thing happened. That was when I asked my PCP for another anti-depressant (WB was my third one) and got sent to a psychiatrist instead.
