> Since starting Serzone a few months ago, my life is slowly coming back...sort of. My problem now is the same as Ruth's, hostility! I also take Ritalin and Klonopin and have been getting out more and am anxious to see friends again.
> But I have a hair-trigger temper and get really pissed-off! I am laid back by nature.
> I am taking 2mg Klon. a day. Should I up that to 3mg?
> Or should I just begin the taper on Serzone and get ready to get fat, lazy and apathetic on another SSRI?
> I feel I have been a trooper with AD's but I am getting really f**king tired of this. Thanks, PhilWhy are you on Ritalin? Do you have ADD or some similar problem? If not I suggest you get off the Ritalin soon. Same story with Klonopin. Why do you need that stuff? If the Serzone is working effectively for you, creating a robust antidepressant effect, WHY do you need Klonopin and benzo type drugs? Drop both Ritalin and Klonopin and see what happens.
If the hostility goes away after you drop those two meds, you will know what the problem is. If the hostility does not go away however, your anger might be a type of hypomania...possibility of maybe type 2 bipolar disorder(hypomanic). Hopefully, this will not be the case.
