I just wanted to say, askye, it sounds to me like you're doing great, and taking really excellent proactive steps.
I wouldn't worry too much about the irritability. You've got some pretty big transitions going on, especially when you're dealing with meds shifts, and that may settle as well. Keep on checking I here, because it's really good to hear from you how things are going.
I need to remember that taking my PRN doses of klonopin is not a failure but a skillful thing. I feel so much better now that I have. I mean I want to use skills to handle the anxiety but I can't do that when I'm too anxious.
Sail - on the 15th I'll bump up to 150 mg.
Remembering to take a medication that helps you is a skill. Following through and taking that medication is a skill. Not the ONLY skills, but don't fool yourself; some people refuse to take medication and they suffer for it. Taking it IS a skill.
Well it's PRN which I hate because i'm so bad at deciding when I need to take it. Plus I still feel sleepy and then I don't want to feel more sleepy.

Yeah, but I still maintain that recognizing when to take it is a skill, which means it's something you'll improve, and you won't be so bad at deciding when you need to take it.

OMG yes. Also extra bad when the thing you need the med for steps you from taking it--Saturday I felt like ASS all afternoon. Headache, not at all hungry, couldn't stand light...blamed it on too much sun, took Otc painkiller, took a nap, nothing worked...finally remembered I have migraine meds. For when I have migraines. Duh?!? 90 minutes later it was like a miracle had occurred. I was so much better. Sigh.
I'm fine taking medicine twice a day. I'm terrible at remembering to take something in the afternoon. I need to set up some kind of alarm. I found out Monday what happens when I miss a dose of the drug I take for neuropathy. It suppresses nerve impulses and apparently there's a rebound effect that makes every nerve in cuts, bruises and any other nerve that had ever thought about causing pain to go sproing.
I was on Effexor for a few weeks. Then I found myself thinking about irritating people, "I could take her out." Thinking about murder seemed like a really unfortunate side effect.

Wellbutrin did that -- I had a bottomless well of raaaaaaaaaage. And also insomnia for a year, 9 months of which were after I stopped it.
Hi, Nanita! And everyone else, of course.
Sending loving thoughts to all of you darlings even if I can't quite articulate each thought.
