I've been diagnosed with bipolar. I'm currently on Effexor 75 mg daily for the depression. I have severe mood swings that change from day to day, moment to moment. A lot of days I feel like I'm on the verge on violence because I get so angry and upset over the slightest thing. I have a military assigned shrink who doesn't seem to listen to me and what I'm going through (actually, it's what my family is going through). I think I should be on a mood stabilizer--he said I could have one if I really wanted one, but that was it. I had to ask to be put on Effexor because Paxil and Zoloft made me more irritable and my familiy was miserable.
I can't change Dr.s, but maybe someone could give me some info so I can get the meds I need. I have been in talk therapy--it didn't help the mood swings or the anger.
