I may need a med adjustment

I have been a tad bit angrier these last couple of days.
Not saying that my brother is innocent but I’m lashing out in anger and verbally cut him down.

Today I started to instigate him for no reason and later on this afternoon my father pissed me off so I grabbed his phone and threw it against the wall.

He started dialing 911 and threatened to have me locked up so this was when I grabbed his phone.

My brother is an ■■■■■■■ for sure but I’m actIng out in extreme anger and should understand that he won’t change because of NPD.

I may contact my doctor tomorrow.

A medication adjustment may be needed for sure.

It’s good that you have self awareness and are able to recognize when you are behaving in an uncharacteristic way. I think it’s a good idea to let your pdoc know what’s going on.

I know I’m getting manic because it’s past 3am here and I’m wide awake sipping on decaf coffee and watching TV.
I’m not tired a bit.

The reason I went from 3mg risperidone to 5mg risperidone is anger and rage issues. Now I am never physically angry, the worst I do is yell a bit then shut up. I tried 4mg but my family right away told me that I am becoming more agitated and easily angry/violent.

Also what I found is that splitting my dose to 3mg at night and 2mg at 2pm is best. Risperidone has a short half life or maybe I am a fast metabolizer. When I took 5mg at night I felt more tense and irritable after 1-2pm. It was a user here who I got this suggestion from.

Idk if its mania for me, my Drs all say I don’t have mania but sz. I read that psychosis can cause anger/irritability and rage issues. Anyways I read that APs work for both.

I agree with @Moonbeam It’s really good you have insight. Now you can talk to your dr first thing Monday morning and find out how to remedy the situation. I hope you feel better soon

Thanks @LilyoftheValley I’m feeling better this morning but I’ll keep an eye on it.
I really don’t want to take more meds.

A lot of my anger has a lot to do with my frustration against my brother.

So sick of people right now.

You threw your father’s phone because he wanted to be safe? Thats elder abuse. You should seek the hospital right now. If you can’t even stop yourself from damaging someone else’s property when they are in distress, you should be getting professional help now, not monday.

Hi Wave. Don’t you have a PRN that can pull you through until you see your psychiatrist?

Or maybe up your AP a little?

He wasn’t in distress.
He wanted the keys to the car and he shouldn’t be driving by himself.
I had the keys in my possession to keep him safe so he wouldn’t rush off and get into an accident.

It’s not elder abuse so get over it.

I can see that you are in attack mode Zombie

It was out of bounds for me and like I said before I’m keeping an eye on things.

You don’t know my situation here living with a man who has a wicked temper.

If anything he abuses me.

I have Klonopin as a PRN @anon18305065
I plan on taking it until I speak with my doctor Monday.
Thanks buddy
