I have taken 150 mg. imipramine (very old fashioned mood elevator, but works best for me for 30 yrs) and will increase to 200mg as I am having sleep disruption prior to tx. Hep doc knows and I'll call him if there are any 'rages' (I really need my job). Last night on Ambian I told my husband the ceiling was breathing-he completely freaked out! Will let doc know Monday. I don't want to get irritable.
Don't hesitate to get some Zoloft worked for me big time. There meds do crazy (pardon the pun) things to us. I know a person in another forum who can't even go into the grocery store w/o freaking out. I suggested people with RIBA rage go on AD'. She's so far gone she berated me called me names and told me I was weak because in needed AD's these meds drove her nutz. Don't let it happen to you, get help, riba rage is serious.
Good luck it's one of the tougher things to deal with while on tx.
Help me Tom Cruise! Help me Oprah! Help me TBJ! I had my 1st Riba rage. Had my meds shipped to my friends apartment this month. I called fedex 2 xs and gave them my cell phone number and said, "Please have driver call if there is a problem locating the apartment." I waited 6 hours. Kept tracking. The driver had left the package at the apartment leasing office and said no one answered the door. I WAS HERE WAITING.
Oh I gave a tongue blistering discourse on my right to live, and their potential liability for $20,000 in meds, my right to privacy - Not to mention lousy customer service. I have a friend who's worked for them for 30 years. He would never avoid walking up 3 flights of stairs especially if the customer had called. It felt kinda good actually. I was in awe of my own anger. Wow. Glad I'm not alone in this... Karen :)
It can get nasty can't it. I mean it is funny looking back but I remember some pretty brutal times txing. Riba Road Rage was especially bad. Watch out traffic! I never took any anti-depressants and my husband and I promised not to divorce during treatment. We made it through somehow. Sometimes I just had to bite my tongue.
frijole
The rage is real and ugly. I had a really bad day at work, I now increased zoloft and it made a difference. It's irritability on steriods.
Does everyone get riba rage? Is it just irritability or bizarre behavior?
