> you're allowed to feel angry and have bad days. I'm glad you have Ativan to smooth out the transition off the antidepressants, especially since you were treated for so long.

Personally, I think ((from what very little I know about your situation)) that you might want to completely transition off daily psych meds (except the ativan) and see how you feel. The last thing you'd want to do is over-medicated what might just be normal life issues and emotions.It's been 5 months or so that I've been off all antidepressants. Been taking Ativan prn. Not doing as well lately. Not depressed, however I'm very emotional, cry so easily, easily irritated and I'm angry. The worst though is that I'm so excitable or overstimulated. Don't know if this is still coming off antidepressants or is it bipolar2. I'd rather stay home because when I'm with people I get too excited and talk too much and usually say something I shouldn't have. Also find the anxiety is getting worse, trouble breathing sometimes...feel like I can't get enough air.
I've had such good opinions and thoughts when I first posted, so hopefully the same will happen. Don't know whether I should be considering the Gabapentin or looking at something more for the anxiety.
As always...thanks for any responses.
Karen
