Hi everyone,
Just wanted to report that I am continuing to have some success with verapamil at 80 mg 3-4 times a day! Only side effect is a little GI back-up (IYKWIM). I am also a little bit fatigued and actually feeling a bit down (instead of angry now) so will be SLOWLY adding a bit of cytomel back into the mix! Wish me luck as I do all of you! I will continue to check in here often as this board has kept me alive the last few months of hell. Also, I should add that I am taking adderall xr 10 mg (for adhd) and lunesta 2 mg at night for sleep..... I also still wake feeling crummy but within a few hours I calm down..... (at least for a bit!) Then I remember to take my next dose (easy to remember when you feel like crap). So, for now I am happy to say that I am getting some temporary relief in the form of sadness (which compared to anger is delightful!)Now to get the depression under control.So, question for all of you out there- Was this a mixed episode? The feeling of highly energized anger with a need to lash out at the world- the feelings of out of contol- the horrible anger and irritability- the anxiety, the inner restlessness, etc...... any guesses?
