Ive always had a short fuse when it comes to getting angry, but lately i become so enraged and its over nothing! I could be just sitting there and all of a sudden i just feel like screaming or hitting something or someone and at some times i get that furious that i feel like i could kill someone. Ive been on meds for 3wks now has that got anything to do with it or am i just going insane. I havent yet been diagnosed cos i cant c a psych til after april. Is this a normal symptom of depression or is it something else? Also when this happens i hav these really weird twitches/spasms i dnt kno whats happening 2 me! Im scared im going 2 hurt someone. Also 2day i felt so angry that i diliberately stirred up my dog so she would attack me and now im covered in bruises and scratches...is that considered SI? Any help is much appreciated

ahhh going crazy!!!!

Its not depression, it sounds like a form of sadism to me. I dont understand what the spasms are so it is highly likely to be caused by the medication you have been taking, chances are its just the side effects.

I feel that way too
Anger and fear to be exact - like exhausted animal or something. Not hurting any1 and not going to, although sometimes I just want blow up the planet. Trying to distract myself with positive thinking, computer games, music etc etc.. trying to concentrate. Not very good at it too - I just can't help it.

I would seriously encourage you to contact whoever prescribed the meds and tell them what is happening. Getting the right dosage and the right meds for you can be a lot of trial and error but worth the effort.

This sounds serious to me and needs to be addressed.

please check it out.

glad you posted about what's going on with you. have you called your pdoc about how you are feeling? i think it might be a good idea. it could be a med you take for depression (negative reaction) or something else but clearly you don't feel your anger is like you really are...it's cause for concern. let us know how things work out.

just me, but i'm not comfortable with his answer. if you've been on the meds for 3 weeks the meds are getting to a theuraputic level already. if you aren't responding right to the meds it can cause rage.
i have a little problem with regular docs prescribing this stuff cause they are not schooled into the chemical properties of MI meds. i'd call that doc again if the rage persists and the urge to do something not normal for you, imho. let us know how it goes.

I actually think i figured it out, its not the meds its my bf hes driving me nuts! Just looking at him is enraging me! Hes being so lazy and wont do anything hes ruining my life and his own. He wont go 2 the bank 2 get loan protection, he just lost his job (his apprenticeship had finishd and he couldnt be kept on because he didnt finish all his tafe work) but his boss offered him a different position but is deliberately ignoring his fone calls and yesterday was his last chance 2 call him bak! And now he wont even get off hiss and go look 4 another job. He didnt even go 2 work for the last 2wks ne way so we hav no mmoney and we are behind in rent we wil get a powerbill soon. He never helps properly with our son all he wants 2 do is sleep! He suffers from anxiety but i reckon its just made up so he has an excuse 2 be lazy!! Ahhh im going 2 kill myself then he wont hav ne help and he wi know how hard it is 2 do it all on his own! Even when he did hav a job i hav 2 pay all the bills i hav 2 pay rent i hav 2 remind him 2 do everything! He cant even put the bin out on garbage nite! I cook i clean i wash i do everything i can do with what little energy i hav and stil get told i do nothing. Dnt get me wrong i love him more than anything but lately hes been nothing but useless. I feel more like his mother than his gf! Sorry i dnt mean 2 sound like a whinger but omg!!!

Because even though you feel like you are a horrible person some part of you still thinks there is hope, however slight. Or you wouldn't try at all. Keep trying, please. You are worth it.

Of course you are angry! You have every reason and right to be. Your boyfriend is not helping, and he is affecting your life financially. This is your family's welfare he is messing with!
And it is perfectly OK to love him and be infuriated with him!!!

Please, though, do call your doctor. These meds you are on might be making it worse. And they certainly are not helping.

You need to see a psychiatrist for psych meds, not a regular doctor. It just works much better that way.

Have you considered couples therapy?

It sounds, imo, that your boyfriend is depressed. He may need some medication as well. Have you talked to him about this?

My boyfriend is already on medication, hes on effexor xr. His mood is alot better and he seems alot happier but hes just not pulling his weight and taking care of his responsibilities. Fo example i had 2 go help my sister today and then go 4 a blood test so i couldnt take my son with me so i left him at home and when i returned after being gone for 2hrs i couldnt get in the house because he was asleep and the doors were locked. When i finally got in my son had made the biggest mess in the loungeroom toys everywhere, freezer door open, eridge door open and my bf stil just snoozing away on the lounge. This really pisses me off! I cant go anywhere alone because if i do this is what happens all the time! Even if i leave the houre for 15mins i get home and he is asleep! And its not his meds making him tired he always has done this! God i must sound like the biggest whinger, im sorry guys
