I start cussing like a sailor! It's mainly when my kids won't mind and yes I've tried everything like grounding and taking things away. They aren't the problem though. It is me. Could it be any of these meds that are aggrivating my stress level? Lamectil (mood stablizer) provigil (sleep apnea, narcolepsy) ovcon (birth control) this is it other than levoxyl (thyroid). I've been on Lamectil and Ovcon for about 3 weeks. Before was wellbutrin and orthotricyclene. My nerves are so bad!!!!

Sister, I think the first step of dealing with anger is to find out what is causing you to get angry. In other words, let's deal with the root of the problem instead of the fruit of the problem. Are the side effects of the meds causing the problem. If so, let them go. Did someone made you mad in the past like a friend, relative, or spouse? Forgive them and let it go. Talk to trustworthy friends about any problems that you may have and find positive solutions. Learn to smile when you do not feel like smiling. Dance and sing to good music. Find positive things to do to keep your mind off of getting angry. And most importantly, pray and ask God for direction and to help you cope with anger.
I hope this helps,
Steven

Good job on coming clean and admitting your have a serious problem. Having all of those drugs inside may not be the direct cause but i'm certain they are not helping at all.
Cussing like a sailor - Many people say people who use bad words are to ignorant to think of something better to say. Is that true? There may be some truth in it. People will get your point with out you using those words. And you can control it. You probably wouldnt say that stuff in a Church, or in at a funeral, Or at a kids birthday party.
Grounding/Taking things away - Those are good steps, especially if you don't believe in a slap to the bum a few times. However you may need to increase the time out durrations on what your not giving them and ALSO explain to them whats going on (Not yell at them) and verify that they understand. Have set rules, ahead of time, and have them repeat them to you. (example, yall walk in a nice dept store. You say, What are the rules for stores...They say, Do not touch Anything, & Be very Quiet....You Say..What happens if you break the rules...They say..We can't watch TV today (or whatever u set)) right now they don't fear you or respect you. Your yelling no longer scares them, they are used to it.
Temper -- How do you feel when someone loses their temper on you? Not good, Please realize that kids and adults make mistakes. I used to hate when my dad would yell at me or my sis for spilling something, but 2 weeks later when he spills something, he just says opps and laughs. Everyone makes mistakes. As you already know nothng has been solved from your temper rage. I understand something warrant a Yell, Like no running in the street. But most things can be explained.
Yes drugs in your system don't help, but ultimatley you control your actions.

Yes I do. My civics teacher tried to get me to say I don't have a temper, but I couldn't do it. Then he said something to make me mad and I came REALLY close to losing it. He just stood and laughed at me. Otherwise if I get mad, which can happen easily, look out!

It would be a good idea to talk to your doctor about the possible synergistic effect of this combination of medications.
It also sounds like you would do well to have some talk and behavioral therapy to facilitate what the drugs are doing.
Get good exercise, find ways to relieve stress, talk to God and develop your relationship with Him, talk to other women who have children to develop a network of empathetic friends to relate to, and get help.
Your children do not need to be under this sort of abuse and you are wise and loving to recognize you are out of control and do not want to harm your children. Great first step. Follow through on the good advise offered in these posts and you will find hope and healing!

I think you need to talk to your doctor about this problem. When you feel your self getting angry please take a personal time out. Your children are not doing these things just to make you up set. They probably do it all the time and the new meds or the mix of meds is making it aggravate you more.

certian birth control drugs do the same to me, talk to your dr and maybe they can prescribe something else. I heard the nuva ring helps better with that. good luck ( meditation helps too) Try a guided one so your mind can focus on something rather than just being silent until you can learn to relax.

Use meditation or yoga.
Research those drugs and ask your doctor and get a second opinion too.
