I support this. Mild, good. Low-dose, good. You can always stop if it doesn't work, or makes things worse. And if it makes things better, GREAT. May I ask which one? Or which class of antidepressants it belongs to? I've been on a LOT of them.
My husband and I have both been on Celexa. It is mild, few side effects, doubles as anti-anxiety. Good stuff. Weird dreams, though, iirc. If you can lucid dream, it's fun.
Yeah, that's pretty much where i'm at. Reading up, it seems that this drug is also good for anxiety and panic and such. I'm hoping for good things, but new meds are always approached with trepidation, ya know?
I wouldn't be surprised if the feelings of anger/rage you have been dealing with may have been your expression of anxiety.
I know that I grew up in a household where there was a lot of rage from adults so we kids were afraid, and I find that for me it often feels like the only safe emotion to express.
*nods* Oh yes, for sure. Not only do I have INTENSE dread over normal things (like not being able to sleep until I know H wasn't robbed and killed during his bi-weekly trip to the ATM on foot), but I grew up in a house full of nutters who refused to admit there was anything wrong.
Sarcasm has always been a handy tool of both communication and coping for me. But I don't want it to be the only trick in my bag, and I certainly don't want it to take the place of open, honest communication--and I feel like it is because I'm so damn angry all the time.

From things you've posted, I get the impression that this might be just the ticket. I hope it helps bunches!
