The Angry Weepies

Last Friday, my doctor changed 2 of my medications. In the long term, this will be good for me. In the short term - not so much. Now, I've looked and looked, and found absolutely no evidence for what I'm about to say.

It has been my observation, that any time either of these medications is adjusted, I get very emotional. I get the angry weepies. It lasts for about a week.

The angry weepies are a bitch. Wherever I am, whatever I'm doing, I will suddenly be flooded simultaneously with anger, and sadness. Not for any apparent reason. There's no trigger that I can find. Just suddenly white hot rage and deep black despair warring for my brain for a few moments, and then its gone again for a minute or an hour or so. Most of the time, I don't even know why I'm angry and/or crying. I just AM.

I can't find any reason for this. I can't even find "mood swings" listed as a potential side effect. I keep looking and . . .nothing.

I've swung between wondering if I'm crazy or if these drugs haven't been studied enough. It simply could be that no one looked at this part. These are both blood pressure medications, and as long as they are doing their job, everything's good, right?

I don't think so.

I'm glad that they've been cut in half. I'm glad that I don't need as much. I just wish that I could go through his without the angry weepies. Cuz the Angry Weepies are a bitch goddess, and they have it in for me.

Just gotta get through the rest of this week. . .
