Peachy Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Does anyone have inappropriate emotional responses? For example, feel like laughing at something sad, or irritated and angry when the situation doesn't call for it? The emotions and thoughts are very distorted, like being irritated and angry by a joke or the sound of someones voice. I'm not sure how else to describe this horrible wave I'm having. I've been experiencing this more and more, and its so scary for me. I'm not even off the meds yet! Anyone else? med history: 17 years total Concerta: 2 yrs - cold turkey, brought on first "depression" Short trials of Zoloft and Effexor: 1-3 years - multiple cold turkey's brought on OCD intrusive thoughts for the first time Lexapro 15-20 mg (16 yrs) - tried to quit once, cold turkey, worst WD ever, had to go on to 20mg to stop WD Welbutrin 150mg (8-ish yrs) NO w/d symptoms from CT Adderall 5-7.5mg (8-10-ish yrs) quit CT, brought on many WD symptoms, but manageable.
