IS RIBA RAGE REAL

[missy60051]

I really blew it yesterday.  I went off the deep end.  I ruined everything.
Had problems with stepson in the past, which he no longer lives here.  When he was here it was horrible.  My husband decided to invite him over to work things out.  The problem is his girl friend and my mother in law joined him.  My daughter can't stand the girl friend because she's a thief and stoled form the.  personally I don't like her either.  Bla BLa .  I really don't even want to talk about it.
there's more to add , but yuck.
Needless to say I wacked.  Told her she had no business being here, as well of
confronting her on her thievery and drug usage in my home.
My oldest lost control and almost beat the hell out of her.  yes I know this is wrong,but she hates her.  She stoled many things from our house.  My husband and his mother fell we should just forget about it and move on to get the family back together.
Is it the riba doing this to me or am I just a hateful BIT**
I really want to know.  My husband is leaving me because of this and tells me to stop treatment because I'm making everyone miserable.
Sorry to be so pathetic.
I really just want infor about riba rage to show and explain my behavior.  He feels there is no excuse.
I did refuse to go outside to the patio originally,but my husband sent his mother in to get me out there.  I tried to explain with the meds I'm it wouldn't be a good idea.  she wouldn't take no for an answer.
IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.  and I can't take it back.
Maybe I should just quit after 12 weeks

I am not on Riba or Interferon but I do know Rage and I have gone off myself  a few times over the past 20 years
I guess your husband and his family just do not understand
Obviously you did or you would not have refused to put yourself in a situation you did not want to be in
They also have to take some blame for forcing you into the situation in the first place
I am sure they know you are emotionally unstable and getting a bad relationship that has failed because of many negative issues in your state of mind was well Not a good idea to be in a confrontive situation
Guess they will not try that again too soon
best advice is to sit down and write a letter and include the info on the pamphlet and a  website if they are intersted why you reacted the way you did
You are ill and undergoing a seriously hard treatment with many phases
Prozac is good  Lexapro is good
best of luck mending it with your Husband

My first time on the combo I had a fairly violent episode that could have resulted in jail but thankfully didn't.  That was about 6-years ago.  This time, after a month on the interferon/ribo/telepravir study, I have been finding myself extremely upset at my 15-yr-old son for almost everything and have snapped at him much more than usual.  That *****.  I appreciate your posting as it has had me thinking to sit down with him, confirm that I do indeed love him a great deal and that I'm on a medicine that can cause me to feel unreasonable at times.  I don't know if it is the interferon or ribo, I just know that when I'm on the treatment everything is magnified and I have to really watch myself closely.  Ah, I feel so much better that I'm not the only one.
Regarding the family...unacceptable behavior is still unacceptable behavior and needs to be addressed, including your own messes.  Don't be one of those elephant in the living room families where problems exist but everyone plays like they don't.  Address the issues but appropriately, with help when able, and remove yourself from the situation when your reaction to it is likely to create more of a problem than the one the situation started with.  It would be nice to have an understanding and supportive spouse but some of us do not.  Work on that which you have some choice over...yourself.

I agree with those that say its the Interferon because I predosed riba for 3 months prior to tx and not until after the 3 months when the Interferon was added did I feel like things would annoy me that normally wouldn't. And once the serotonin is out of whack, when people end tx they wonder why they are depressed or not snapping out of it quick and its not a matter of "thinking positive thoughts" - though that can help to some degree,,,,,but if the brain chemistry is off, its not going to be back to normal the week after your last shot - how can it be. Not everyone experiences depression from tx, but that doesn't mean its not real - same as the moodiness and all that other fun stuff.

Deron,

You resurrected a very old thread and brought back some memories of when I was first here. You have the answer and know yourself it's real. However, I wonder do you take anything for SX? Lexapro or an opioid or something that will help you to rest and feel better. I couldn't have done what I did without 'help' just remember to come off those when you're done so you can return to 'normal'... :-)

Oh, it's real.

I'm so sorry...I've had "incidents" myself.  I will not even attempt to deal with mending until these poisons are out of my body. How can i know if I'll say the right thing? I thought I was saying the right thing before.

You're husband is too quick to walk out the door.  this is not the type of support you need.

Best of luck, hon

I think it's the whole banana...The nastiness that both do to your body...anyone is going to be irritable and teetering on psychosis when they are itching like they're flea-infested, they feel like they have the flu everyday, have a tongue made of leather, they get out of breath and chest pain just going to the bathroom, and they have turned into insomniacs...and then they have a well-meaning relative saying,"Dear, you just have to suck it up. It can't be THAT bad...Yep. I had a sign for my bedroom door..."Dragon lady dwells here. Enter at your own risk for thou art crunchy and tastes good with ketchup!"
