Lol, well, I can't say it has completely stopped ;) j/k. It still crops up every now and then. It's going to get better. It is gradual improvement. I can't pinpoint exactly when but it does. :)

Yup, the irritability made me not even want to be around myself ;) I really tried not to take it out on anyone else but man, it was hard! Especially at work. I now realize that the pills helped me cope with a job I don't like. And an ex-husband whose sole purpose in life is to make me miserable. Just keep plugging away. Do things to distract your mind. Think about something that makes you chuckle. You will make it! :)
