Thank you... there is no doubt lamictal killed the anger/irritability. Abilify did nothing.. but on the other hand I never tried anything over 5mg due to akathasia.
And yes... I have both. It's just I was feeling so bad today I needed to talk about it. My pdoc is calling later today and I see him next week.

Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist you can talk to? (I don't know if you're getting meds from a GP or someone else.) You can have a great discussion about your concerns with respect to BP. I've had these discussions with both my psychiatrist and my therapist a couple of times. |
