Hello Cynthia,

I've been empathizing with you for the past couple of weeks and all your problems. I don't really have much to add from what everyone else has, but I can share a bit of my personal experience (with raging) that may give you some insights.

My pdoc explained it to me as a type of seizure (I have no interest in science and would always insist he put everything in a layperson's version) and that basically it just had to run its course (mine were usually no longer than 2 days, and no shorter than about 7 hours). But there are things you can do to shorten the length of the rage--I'm hoping that book you're reading will list many of them for you. For me, serious exercise (running, walking for hours, hiking, lifting weights) were the only things that helped to shorten a rage.

Also once I started taking care of the bipolar with medications that really seemed to help, the raging pretty well stopped. For me, I believe it was a symptom of my bipolar.

The very best of luck for you. You sound like an intelligent woman Cynthia. Janice

ps. think you could be going manic (sex talk & talk of going off meds)?
