Riba rage?

[dixiechicdana]

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?

Agree with Lynda also.  I was thinking the same thing about interferon possibly being the culprit.  For me there is a profound difference between irritable and full of rage.   Since the level of riba is rather consistant with a dose every 12 hrs, and inf given once a week, I do notice some lower levels of tolerence earlier in the week.  Might be just a coincidence?  Of course, my outbursts ALWAYS appropriate and don't try to tell me otherwise. - shot Friday night.  lol

Doin time- lol. I think I read about that study in Rolling Stone Magazine. I tried ads years ago. No worky for me. I do take 1/2 Xanax if I need sleep.
I've got a Tibetan singing bowl and use prayer n meditation a lot. I've even resorted to smoking a few cigarettes. My Dr said to do whatever it takes to get by for 11 months.
If I'm gonna be an elaborate fighting machine, I want a tricked out uniform to go w it.. Karen :)

lynda is spot on ...but "RIBA RAGE" sounds way more cool than Intereferon rage :)

Ribavirin will make you irritable, impatient and on edge.  Interferon is usually the culprit that leads to inappropriate outbursts.  Interferon causes depression and irritability and anger are common symptoms of depression.  Rage itself is a psychiatric manifestation and interferon is the drug with the FDA-mandated psychiatric warnings - not the ribavirin.
