Hi all, need some help here to buy some time before I see my T and P-doc on Friday… basically, I have been under a lot of stress the last few weeks regarding my graduate school work. About five weeks ago I started taking mirtazapine (Remeron) for my depression. I’ve had PTSD for almost 12 years now and I am really good about knowing what triggers me. Lately though, I have been responding to situations out of character… the nightmares have been rampant (I guess this could either be the stress or the extra REM sleep I’m getting from the mirtazapine, or both)… but also, I’ve been really angry, aggressive, and basically just don’t want to be out and about (which is unlike me on all levels).
\For example, on Friday I had an altercation with a lady in parking lot after she opened her car door into mine… today I had was out riding my bike and a car cut me off making a left hand turn… I followed the car into the lot and started yelling at him and as he started to drive off I punched his window almost breaking it. I’m just really frustrated right now and I don’t know if it is because of the stress, the new medication, or even just the depression… I just don’t know. Thanks for letting me vent though...
