Thanks for mentioning this, Thomas11. Since I've stopped using, I've been prone to getting angry for pretty much no reason. And although I've definitely had some temper issues in the past, I haven't really ever considered myself an angry person. It's weird.. these days I'm almost afraid to let myself become too happy or excited, because then it's like I somehow open myself up to other more intense emotional swings. It somehow opens the door for things like anger or a deeper depression. So I end up just feeling sort of flat a lot of the time. I feel like all of the neurotransmitters are a bit out of wack right now, and it take a while before they get settled back down to baseline.
