Are we supposed to feel irritable and annoyed at the slightest provocation from taking this? I started it recently and the dose has just gone from 50 to 100 mg. The slightest little thing now, like a mistake typing sets me off with anger and annoyance.

Should I just ask to stop taking it? It helps a little with my mild depression but overall I was doing better before. Do I need an even higher dose? Should I switch to a different mood stabilizer? Does anyone have familiarity with this drug?
