I have a really bad problem and i need advice before i lose my mind and kill somebody or myself. Ive been struggling with really bad anxiety... (due to drug overdose) NOW i cant sleep without pills. Anyways. My anxiety is SO BAD.... actually i dont think its anxiety.. its ANGER. Im full of anger for no reason. Im always mad. I hate everybody. I have not had a boyfriend in yearssss.... I have a very few friends. At work... i have conflicts with people everyday. I have a problem with outbursts. I work for a call center doing customer service. I deal with assholes all over the country (its a dining program) People call SCREAMING they didnt get a $1.50 FREAKING credit back.. so i MUTE them and say "what a fuking ASSHOLE" and my supervisors hear me and yell at me. I cant help it. I am very loud... im always frustrated and angry. ALWAYS! Im like a chick Eminem. My heart is always racing all day.... blood pressure boiling. I feel like fuking killing people sometimes. I picture myself shooting people. I live in MIAMI, FLORIDA. The people here are so MEAN... all these cubans are pathetic. I grew up around this hateness. I lose my temper so quickly. Everyday my supervisors call me in thier office to scold me on my outbursts and my cursing. I HONEST TO GOD... cannot help it. I always break down in front of them and start crying. WHY? I cant help it. I hate my mother. All we do is fight. Im 21 and still live with her. I have a drinking problem. Im only happy when i drink a couple beers... calms me the fuk down. I take Serzone 50mg 1 time a day (before bedtime). WHAT SHOULD I DO???? IM SO FUCKING ANGRY RIGHT NOW.. NO REASON!!! Im at work.. i hate my job. I hate everything. Should i increase my serzone?? Should i try another medication? Should I kill myself? I need help

It sounds like you should call your pdoc. Right now. What you are describing sounds so painful to live with. Perhaps the Serzone isn't helping enough. Perhaps you need a different medication.
Only your doctor will be able to tell whether you need a medication change or what is best for you at this time.
Please call him. If you can't think of what to say, just read this post to him.
Take care.

I'm sorry things are so bad for you now, and I understand that anger is an issue, but at the same time I need to ask you not to use language that could offend others or to post anything that could lead others to feel put down. Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
I read your post and seeing as a couple days have gone by I was wondering how things are now?
Hope things are going better.

**When I noticed the medication you're on I had to reply to this post. My brother was being treated for depression years ago and a pdoc put him on Serzone. He had violent outbursts and was calling our older brother names, etc. Totally out of character for him. He was taken off those meds and returned to his usual low-key self. Then, a few years later, I was put on Serzone. It didn't dawn on me then that this was the same medication my brother had reacted to so violently. Before I knew it, I was having screaming mimi fits in front of my children (something I had never done before). I cried over the smallest things and became overwhelmed by small tasks. I told my dr. of my behavior and was immediately taken off Serzone. I'm not saying this is definitely what's going on in your case. Just pointing out the possibility. It could be your meds.**

Thanks for your responses. Im still the same. My anxiety is always full blast for me. It may be the serzone. I like the side effect profile though. I am so sensitive to meds (like most people) and serzone is the only thing that hasnt made me very ill. Well I notice when im not drinking.. . im not that bad. When i go out drinking.. the next day i feel like dying... heart races all day and i feel so weird. I wish i could explain it. it is not a hangover. its like depersonalized. Everything looks weird... i cant go outside... i cant do anything. It gives me a really weird effect that i cant explain. Well thanks for all of your replies... its now lunch time.. ttyl

WOWOW... I just read this post that I posted years ago. I am happy to say that I got off of that Serzone and am MUCHHH BETTER! I have not had anger like that since THEN. I cannot beleive what pain I was in. I look back and say wow, that was me posting that? wow. I take Lexapro now and it works great. But i am now thinking of trying natural stuff and getting off of Lexapro. But if it doesn't help and my anxiety comes back, right back to the Lexapro I go.

Have you ever considered adding Inositol to your medications? Beyond- a -Century has the powder and it may augment the SSRI you are on,, just a thought. WHY would you quit if you are feeling so great anyhow? good luck.
