I go to bed in a rage, get up agitated. Spend all day screaming at my kids and my husband. My dad wants me to go away with him and the kids. I think I will scream again. It's never going to end is it.... Efexor was making me crazier than I am now. My gp is away and I have nowhere to go. My husband laughs at me and tells me to chill.... I want to lay down and never wake up

"Chill". Someone can tell me to "chill". I can tell myself to "chill". My mind, however, won't listen.

Hi, Pierro. I think it's time for you to see a psychiatrist. GP's are not experts on antidepressants. I know mine told me to see a psychiatrist when the antidepressant he gave me didn't work. I hope something will help you before too long. You will be okay.

I can relate. I get agitated easily and it's hard to control. People tell me to chill and that's hard to do. The only way to chill is just to walk away from the situation for a few minutes. I am having trouble finding an antidepressant that works too but I think my situation is so much related to my job. Best of wishes.

I think travelinglady is right, it may be time to see a psychiatrist. My gp will not even fill any of my psych medications because she does not feel that she knows enough about them. I was on effexor for a while and one psychiatrist was like I dont think it is doing anything for you, so he switched me to Paxil and now I am on wellbutrin. Everyone reacts differently to medications. I hope you will be able to get something to work. Best of Luck.

A husband that doesn't take you serious enough, it sounds like.
What does your dad, hope to accomplish with this trip idea? And what about it, makes you want to scream?

I get, sometimes it's more to address than the meds.

Kids aren't listening are they???

I'm sorry you are struggling so much. I had similar reactions with many psych meds. Effexor and Cymbalta made me a raging *****... Maybe it might help to look at a different med?
Is there anything that tends to help you relax a bit (even if you are still aggitated, but maybe a bit less so?). Would taking some time out by yourself be helpful (away from kids and hubby)? I only ask that because it used to help me. I would take myself away from everyone and everything until the aggitation lessened some. It would not go away, but it made going back to everyone easier after a bit. I would literally lock the dogs and my wife out of my bedroom, pump loud music into my ears that matched my mood, and let it flow out a bit that way.
I hope you can find some relief soon... <3
