I am about ready to burst out of my body! I have been in a bad state all weekend ... very manic. On Saturday, I actually pounded my fists on the kitchen counter, threw some things around and screamed at the top of my lungs. I found myself shaking uncontrollably, crying hysterically and begging God to please please help me. I am so tired of living this way. I see my therapist today, so that's a good thing. I have to have surgery for an ovarian tumor so my doc is waiting to put me on meds until after. I don't know if I can wait any longer. I applied for medical assistance and haven't heard yet. They said it could take until mid-November to find out. It seems like every day I get worse and more out of control. My mind is racing and I feel really angry. I don't know what to do.

Sounds like you need an anti psychotic. Maybe you should talk to your dr again. I don't see how a med like that could affect your surgery. Do You have a pdoc you could talk to? I don't know of anything that helps that anger mood except meds, sorry you are feeling bad.

He said he wants to wait to see if they are going to put me on any hormones after the srugery as that might effect what he puts me on. Does that sound right?

That's really tough - wish I could make it all better. I was similar before I got meds. It seems like you have tons of stress anyway with the op - which doesn't help. All I can say is hang in there - it WILL pass, and then after your surgery you can see if the meds will help (they did me). Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck and hugs!

But, eventually, we have to choose a medication to stay on, but this medication may still have some side effects that continue. What side effects did you choose to accept and stay on the medication because the benefits outweighed the negatives?For me, while I'm...

I know we don't do Political on this Board...But damn it feels good to know we have a Sane Man in the Presidency and an intelligent Woman in the Vice Presidency, ready to uphold America's Democracy and actually "Lead", not turn it into a Dictatorship or worry about who's in control of the codes that command our Nuclear Missiles! I personally breathed a very, very big sigh of relief today and am...
