I think it should be a symptom too. I've just gone off my AP and I got angry at everything. I began to hate the dog. I went off on people on the phone. I sent a crazy, angry text to my brother and sister. My sister called and asked me if I was ok to take my mother to her surgery that day. I kept thinking I wanted to die.

I did not want to believe it was being off my meds. But my husband was suffering and kept asking me to take the med. So I did and everything went to normal again. I love my dog, I can work again, I don't have icky thoughts, I'm better.

Who was that person I became off meds? Is that the real me or is my brain so used to meds it can not function without them. Either way, I'm happy I stayed out of the hospital.
