I have been suffering from PND, I have been taking ADs since November and started counselling on Thursday. I have been feeling fine for some time now and found the ADs helped find a new perspective on things. However on Friday i had a big argument with DH, I found out i had been misled about our finacial situation (its not a disater but certainly concerning) I got really angry and since then I have been feeling pretty down, on the verge of tears a lot, snapping and being generally argumentative. It seems the shock of this issue has brought everything back, I dont know what to do now. I am still taking the ADs, but there not helping as much, I dont have another counselling session for a month. I am so angry with DH, because I had felt I was doing so well and now I feel like crap again. Help.

Thanks Jetjets, Ive been following your other thread. The thing is after starting the ADs i could really see how my feelings/behaviour was not right. It isnt normal to be on the verge of tears all the time, or to get angry (and cry and shout)because something is put in the wrong place is it? I suppose I am realising now that if the root of the problem isnt dealt with than any really stressful event can bring it all back, ADs or not. I suppose.

Even on ADs you can still have bad days/weeks like everyone else and you can still get teary and ratty before your period.

I would give it a few more days before rushing back to GP. Even if you have to do this, it may just be a case of altering your dose.

it is normal to feel angry and upset about some things - being misled about your financial situation is one of them

Life doesn't get rosy just because you are taking AD's - you will still have to deal with shit from time to time

I know its normal to be upset, it was my reaction that concerned me. Feel better today.

cori - glad you fell better today , the thing with newer ADs id they really are not supposed to mask our emotions , you should and did rightly feel upset / shocked / angry at the situation and as you can see from this thread it lasted a few days and as you have got your head round the news those feelings are wearing offf, AD's shouldn't make you into an all smiling , numb , stepford wife type...i think what you describe is quite normal , hope this helps you certainly haven't gone backwards...
