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?

No Anti-D's for me.  I don't like them at all.  Years ago, I tried several different types of them and I hated the side effects and said that I'd never do them again.  I am not depressed and I don't want the anti-D's just for my Riba rage.  Susan400

My theory is that riba was developed by the military to turn the soldiers into rabid fighting machines.  Afterwards they discovered - oh my gosh - it has antiviral properties too.

I have absolutely no evidence for the above.

I was terrible on tx.  In the first week I was being snarky with husband and feeling irritated and anxious much of the time.  When I told my tx team about this they started me on low dose Zoloft.  It worked quickly and made such a difference.  Later in tx things started getting bad again and we increased the dose.  Again it really helped.  Hang in there, ask your doc about taking the AD's if you feel you need them.  I only needed them during tx, stopped them gradually after tx was finished and doing great now.

Good luck!
