Yeah that makes sense. A few days ago my husband said that I have been more irritable (these last 2 months) more than my normal once a month. He said now it seems whenever he sees me after work im always irritable and angry about any little thing or nothing at all. We were talking about it yesterday trying to figure out if its because I have been working so much now and am just always tired, or if its the meds.
Yesterday I was happy all day (didnt take meds) and then around 3:30pm took 20mg to aid me with getting groceries, and around 4:30 was very anxious and snippy. A lot of things played in to that little panic attack, stupid things such as my kids faces being dirty, a little garbage in my car, my pants had a tiny hole in them. hahaha But after I realized I was being an idiot I calmed down and was ok. Around 8:30pm I started to get a headache and became tired. I knew the meds were wearing off. I told my husband about the head ache and then it dawned on him! He sees me after im done work and I take my meds for work and they wear off when I get home. Once they wear off im tired, have a headache, and once again, super tired! So hes right, I have been more irritable, but thats due to the meds wearing off. I am going to talk to my doctor about how to ease myself off of them. Its no fun for him when he gets to see me a few hours at the end of the day and im an irritable wench! hahaha
