I’m super angry. Like I want to cuss people out and scream angry. I’m not an angry person at all. I don’t know what to do.
My pdoc added 5 mg of olanzapine to my other AP, and my antidepressant. She said give it a week. It’s only been 4 days so hopefully in 3 days I’ll see improvement.
But I’m just so angry! I’m not saying to anyone what I’m thinking but I really want to tell people off.
Are you SZA or SZ @LilyoftheValley?
I ask because if you’re SZA, it could be a mixed episode or mania— I get like that during those times.
Wishing you well 
I’ve been diagnosed as possible sz paranoid type with depression and possible sza - depressive type. But I’m wondering if this anger and irritability is mania and I’m actually bipolar type.
It could be. A lot of folks think mania is just go, go, go all the time, but it can manifest in a lot of ways, like how you’ve described.
Then again, it’s normal to get irritated or angry every once in a while.
I would say, if this is a pattern for you, to bring it up with your pdoc for sure.
It’s been going on for 2 months and increasing in severity over time. That’s why my pdoc added 5 mg of olanzapine to my meds. It’s supposed to help with aggression.
Hopefully the Olanzapine works for you— it’s defos not a good time feeling irritable at things.
yes, strange. sorry you’re going through this.
I’m sorry @LilyoftheValley
It could be your moods but it could be the Asenapine
I would talk with your doctor about it
@Wave, I did. I’m wondering if it’s the asenapine too. My dr asked me if I wanted off if it and I asked to try something else first, so she recommended adding low dose olanzapine
I take 30 mg of olanzapine. It’s a really helpful medication. Best wishes to you!
@LilyoftheValley I felt anger aswell and to my beliefs comes from mania associated with pdocs. I am feeling I have the wrong treatment and that makes me anger inside. I do not express it towards others but i felt it deep inside and also associated with fear, lots of fear.
I hope you pass trough this in an easy maner.

Update:
My pdoc said if it’s an absolute necessity, I can increase the dose before the week is up. After laying in bed wide awake feeling like I’ll never calm down or sleep I took another 5 mg of olanzapine. So that makes it 10 mg total. I really hope it helps.
My concern is that it’s the asenapine, which would be a real bummer because since starting it I’ve been able to leave the house on my own. I don’t want to lose that.
good luck…maybe your newfound anger is your reaction to realizing you have been sick all this time and feel better about your delusions now?
What? What do you mean?
I was very angry when I first got out of my psychosis.
Well, I still believe I’m being followed. It’s just that the medicine helps me feel just calm enough to leave the house without my husband to protect me @jukebox
If is not too hot go for a walk take a rest on a bench. I hope it will easy your anger.
@jukebox I felt anger when they gave me the first injection. Anger and fear. I feltI was beeing tortured. I did not hve psyhosis at that time.
Olanzapine has helped me with getting out of the house and driving again! We have much in common @LilyoftheValley
It is so weird. I don’t often think about how different it used to be for me. But I never used to drive and never went out of the apartment alone. But now I do. I used to be too paranoid and had more of the bad thoughts.
Olanzapine is calming to me and I take a high dose at 30 mg. I take the dissolving tablets. I really hope it helps you.
Wow @anon90992146 . I’m so happy for you! I was able to get 4 hours of sleep. I left a message for my pdoc and hopefully we can get this worked out.
