Has anyone other than myself experience lack of patience?

I'm much too tired (fatigued) to be impatient! :)

Actually, I had more problems with crying jags than anger/impatience, except when it came to the doggie having accidents on my carpet!!  (poor thing saw my rage up close)  -- No worries, I'd never hit or hurt my sweet little doggie, I just yelled very loudly.

Yes just about all of us have but with time it does even out. I used to joke that I wanted to pull out a gun and shoot the little old ladies that caused my road rage but it wasn't really far off from the truth.

Give your body some time to get used to the huge changes it's going through and the riba rage should even out somewhat for you.  I realize that doens't help much right now......I actually had to learn to stop, breathe and count before reacting or I probably would have lost my kids cause they thought I was NUTS!

yes yes and yes. I had to increase dosage of anti depressants, and with time that patience evened out. I still get impatient, but not to where I wanted to ram car into another car, or ram my cart into other shoppers at walmart (lol). I usually notice it's worse right after i take shot. it will get better, just be patient with yourself, and keep asking questions....

Um, YES.  Even though it's the interferon they call it "riba rage."  Impatience would be a pretty mild version of what most people have.

My husband is on week 22.  He is impatient, can be testy, and will really not stand for any bull**** these days.  Sometimes I have to talk him down when he wants to get a little too honest with a family member or colleague.  He has less of a filter these days.  He's also gotten more bossy.  At least we can joke about it, that is, when he's not enraged.  ;)
