> I am back....trying a new round of meds....same problems...Mixed state...Lots of irritability and rage and snapping at others ....ANGRY and need help. Current combination
> .5 mg Klonopin 2 times a day
> 10 mg Adderall 2 times a day
> 50 mg Pristiq 2 times a day
> 10 mg Ambien at night
> I am worse as the adderall wears off and it seems like the Klonopin doesnt help AT ALL whereas 5 mg of librium and 2 mg of valium used to help.
> IDEAS?Ideas? Well, for starters, it does not appear that any of these current meds are doing you any favors. Just because these are new meds and they appear to be a decent cocktail means nothing. If they suck, they suck. It's no more complicated than that.
If you don't want to change anything right now, which would boggle my mind if that were the case, but ok, assume you don't want to change anything, then I woud get some Lemon Balm tincture and use as needed. Under the tongue it works fast. Very clean.
Personally I do not think either adderall or pristiq are sensible choices when irritibility/rage are issues. There are better options than that.
