Rapid mood swings

Hi everyone, its me again,
Im having a really hard time today. Ive never experienced anything like this before. Im having rapid mood swings, going from up and down, up and down, all day long. Im starting to feel really out of control, like I cant get a grip on myself. I dont have any idea what to do. Obviously it must be this new medicine that I started, Ive been taking it for a week now. The obvious choice is to stop taking it, but what do I do in the meantime? Im a stay at home mom and I feel like I all Ive been doing today is yelling at my kids. I dont want to take this out on them, its not anything they are doing. I just feel so agitated and anxious. Can anyone please help?

Its probably the Cymbalta. It made me the same way. It worked for the depression, but was very agitating.

Call your pdoc and let them know how you're feeling!

Love and Hugs,
