Riba rage?

Anyone having any riba rage or extreme irritation? People around here have got a new nickname for me...Linda Blair LOL Everyone knew how difficult this would be going into it with me but I will be a rats butt if they don't ask me , "whats wrong with you"? My head spins around and well you can only imagine...exorcist LOL I didnt have such of a difficult time last times I did treatment but I was 8 years younger last one I did. I am 48 now and pre-menopausal going into this so.... Just wondering if anyone else feels extreme irritability?

pathetically postal. they were wrong but it was so embarrassing since my 21 yr old son witnessed part of it though he did not know i was on treatment..

Oh boy it got so bad I almost got divorced!!!!! I would snap at my husband and argue for no reason at all, everything made me upset, moody, cranky, and snappy.
I would even yell at my dog whenever she barked, which is all the time, every time!!!

I Thank God my hubby knew it was not me but the meds. Now that I finished treatment I feel so much better, and everything seems like a very bad nightmare.

Oh thanks for making me laugh!
I woke up one day and yelled at my husband, " I'm so irritated at feeling irritable."
Yesterday, I let it all out on the AT&T guy on the phone, tears and all.
Heck, if you can learn to direct the rage it can work for you.

Luckily, I can usually spot it within myself which is why I turned down the Thanksgiving invitations. Don't want to have to do damage control from tongue lashings afterwords, better to stay home.

If I could stay focused enough to paint, which I can't, I'd enter my Frida Kahlo period right about now.

Riba Rage? Well, that's a pretty nice way of saying completely insane. At times I am cussing & yelling at a small crumb. Or how about at night laying there with Guns & Roses in your head  yelling at you loaded like a freight train, I'm on the night train.   Yeah, that says it. Your body is loaded with monster drugs trying to kill a monster. My family has decided to not talk with me, because they are mad if I've taken drugs to keep it all manageable & they're wondering why I'm talking groggy. Then they state well, you're saying alot of cuss words lately & it's not nice to us so they won't talk to me at all & let me know I am not of sound mind.  If I just took a shot I'm so crazy I'd like to tell them where to shove a shot into theirselves. It's not the real me. It's crazy. Like get a chainsaw & chop up the furniture. Or feel like the Hulk busting out of your skin. I do laugh & joke. But alot of people, mostly my family don't get it. I'm glad my sons try & my friends try.  Wow, irritability is not even it. It's crazy nuts! I pray to God each day to make it through & hopefully in the future help others. My son says no water after shot equals turret syndrome for my mom! lol.  yes, water. If you have family stepping away I feel your pain. But I actually don't understand why any of them do that. I flipped out on the verizon lady & finally told her I was on hep c treatment: it turned into a blessing because her brother is going through it. All I can say is hang on  hang on tight! If you believe in God man go to him.

I'm going to ask for ADs tomorrow. I already have some anger issues when not on treatment and now I am like son of sam or something. Have been getting really panicky feeling, my relationship is teetering on the edge. I just hope all this stress isn't hindering the treatment....
