Seeking advice/guidance on irritability and rage from meds
Hello 👋🏼
Not sure if this falls under the “questions/advice” flair or “medication” flair but I’m wondering if anyone here has any advice for rage and irritability from medication?
I’ve tried Zenzedi, Vyvanse, and just plain, generic dextroamphetamine but I get so irritated and honestly, kind of rageful with all of them. We (my psychiatrist and I) thought it was just cus my dosage was too high but after playing around for a while and over half a year, I think 15mg is the sweet spot for me. Anything less and it doesn’t work and I get zero shit done (work, chores, or otherwise) and if it’s 20mg my irritability and rage IS OFF THE CHARTS.
But on 15mg, my irritability is still at an all time high. I’m talking like, (I wfh) if my husband pokes his head in while I’m working and he’s just asking what I want for lunch, I have to mentally **fight myself** not to yell at him and bite his head off. Like, if someone, anyone, interrupts me for ANYTHING it’s this mental battle with myself not to have a full on meltdown.
So…. Does anyone have any advice for this? Or know of any meds I can bring up with my psych that won’t turn me into a massive rageful bitch?
