Irritability for sure. When the Geodon was working, the irritability was very minimal. So when it got more than minimal, because she was sixteen years old, I just attributed it to her age. She was able to keep it in check at school; she saved it all for me and her brother at home. It gradually escalated, but because it was gradual, I continued to attribute it to her age. When it got my attention, though, was when she had an all-out melt-down that included some very illogical thinking. Her perceptions were so grossly distorted. This was in December. When it started dawning on me that this was more than just an adolescent girl thing, I realized that there were a lot of grandiose features to her thinking, and that her reactions to things really were very out-of-proportion. Then I realized that her normal talkativeness was more than just talkative. It was pressured speech with its accompanying random associations. So by the time I realized what was going on, it had been going on for several months.Does that bring any thoughts to mind for you?
