Thanks for your reply. I can't really say that I know what is wrong with me. Only that my mood swings have been erratic since taking AD's. Even a few of my friends have told me that I seem to have higher highs and lower lows. When I tried Seroquel I had a problem with akathesia, and this has definitely felt different. It's a very negative energy in which I am irritable, angry at my friends (although I never have expressed this to them), obsessive with my anger, and self-loathing. I just sedate myself most nights because I can't stand the irritability. It could just be depression, however I am very wary of trying another AD.
