Anger issues

[Guest guest]

I would think you need to have your levels checked while your taking the

meds otherwise you don't know how high your levels really are. My

experience is that when my T levels were low, I was more irritable and

easily angered than when it was in the normal range...I think your

levels would have to very high to have " roid rage " .

I am T-Gel and have had the roid rage problem. I have

know idea why I am having it but it goes way beyond

being irratible, feel like a crazed animal ready to

bite. I don't think my T levels are very high (no

libido), maybe the hormones reach a certain level and

trigger this rage?

Sports -

Depression is very common with lowered Testoserone or even

fluctuating testosterone levels.

Before I was diagnosed I was depressed and started taking anti-

depressants (EFFEXOR). When I found out my T level was in the 90's,

I was placed on Androgel - it helps keep a more constant level. Even

with that I sometimes get depressed. I watched AI (artificial

intelligence) last night to the end, and it made me cry and made me

really depressed (that's what I get for watching a speilberg movie).

You may want to ask your Doctor for an antidepressant - there is no

reason you should be Sad or crying like you said.

good luck,

Ken

Hi,

Aggression and anger are two of the suggested side effects of

Androgel, too. I have noticed a rise in aggression and anger at

things that are extremely mundane, and this afternoon I cried while

watching the 1985 movie " D.A.R.Y.L. " This is very unusual behavior

for me, but I am coming out of a low T score of 98 this last

January, to what it is now at 410. Not as high as I had hoped for

certainly. I cannot take anti-depressants because the medicine

affects the vocal folds in the larynx, as I am an opera singer.

Most of the anti-depressants dry the vocal folds which need to

remain moist in order to sing properly.

My own anger seems to be directed at using Androgel itself. What

results I had hoped for seem dashed now by the onset of weight

gain. My doctor will only see me every three months. I am trying

to change this to just one month in between appts.

But what is even more disconcerting is reading the posts,

disagreeing and arguing one point over another. It is very

confusing, and Androgel seems to be the culprit, raising my level of

anger to heights I have never before attained.

I had hoped to be able glean more information about hypogonadism,

and that I have accomplished. But the one thing I have learned most

directly here is that,

EVERY MAN HERE IS DIFFERENT.......,

and his circumstances and treatment program/hormones utilized is

different. There is really only one thing in common: everyone of

us needs this treatment. How much and with which drug varies from

guy to guy.

To be honest, I am not as angry as much as confused. Maybe I can

blame this on my physician, who is a urologist and chief professor

at a large university here.

I have a little of everything every guy has written about since I

joined this list last month. I can identify with many of the side

effects, symptoms, etc., which so many of you ask about here. But I

remain really confused about many issues, especially the one about

estrogen conversion. Doesn't seem as though my doctor cares too

much about that one, but does order all the bloodwork/labwork.

I guess I will direct my anger, aggression at him when I see him

next month.

I'm most concerned about the anger issues. I called my pharmicist

and there is nothing in the clinical trials about irritability.

However, I know what I feel. Am I alone on these feelings. Does

anybody else feel more testy after your therapy?

[Guest guest]

Sports:

Testosterone is know to be a factor in agression. I have felt it when

my T levels went too high, so I don't think you're alone on this. One

of the treatments for violent prisoners has always been castration.

Also done to " tame " male domestic animals. I think the link here is

obvious.

[Guest guest]

sports,

Its well known that T levels fuel aggression. Its normal - and

supposedly a normal feeling for a male.

We have experienced what it feels like having low T levels - now that

we're on T we can see the affect of increased T - I'd imagine some

have more of an effect than others.

Myself, I feel a bit more " pushy " and will stand up for myself more

since I got my T levels back to society's normal. As for agression?

I'm not sure. I've always been kind of laid back, relaxed person -

but you've got to remember I'm also on Narcotic Pain Killers - and

they can mellow out the agression from the higher T levels.

Even though K4 is not advocating it, I would definitely draw the

line at castration as an effective means of curtailing irritability

and aggression.....

I mean, the stress of such an operation would probably kill me.

I'll settle for a half of a glass of red wine......also good for the

heart.

I think this is somewhat common with kids on the spectrum. Our nephew just

refused to go to school since the 2nd grade. I think he is now in middle

school, and home schooled. Luckily his mom is in a position to do that. Right

now, the therapist and mom are starting to slowly expose him to the school (he

has only been able to go to the building once so far) in the hopes that they

might get him back there.

Are you doing some therapy along with the medication? Sounds like there is a

lot going on there for him. It must be really overwhelming for ASD kids to go

to school with so many other people!

Good luck!

Sorry, I dont have any real advice, just wanted you to know you are not alone

My experience with my son in fifth grade was very tough, we arranged

a deal that he was allowed to take a certain number of mental health

days where he didn't have to go if he felt too stressed. He could

call me and tell me he had a migraine and that was kind of a code

for " I just can't take these fools any longer, help me! " I would go

sometimes if he was having a kind of tough day and I wasn't working

and sit with him in the classroom and just put pressure on his

back. If he chose to take a mental health day it wasn't a play day

and all electronics were off limits and his day was divided up with

several " assignments " I gave him from writing book reports to math

sheets, so staying home wasn't a treat at all. This year for 6th

grade he has only taken 2 mental health days and is doing better

with not getting stressed out by the other kids. He even has a real

friend for the first time ever! By the way he is on Risperadal,

Aderall XR and Zoloft. Good luck I hope it gets better for your

kiddo.

Anger

issues

He just can't seem to grasp or accept that he has

to go to school.

He responds in such an immature way (which I

realize is part of AS)

that it's just not fair......etc.....

We have structured his day much more, and remove

privileges when he

doesn't have a good day at school. He is

also getting a high school

mentor on Monday, another AS boy who is heading

for college in the

fall, which should be fun.

What I'm hoping is that some other boy's mom or

dad out there has a

story for me; I'm just hoping to get him through 5th grade.

************Well we have a story but

probably not what you want to here. We took our son out of fifth grade in Jan. 2

years ago. He wasn’t refusing to go, he went half a day. However, he was

a nervous wreck and was putting all his energy into just ‘being there’.

Also, his learning issues weren’t being addressed and never would be. I

think the High School mentor is a good start for your son. I would also think

in alternatives if things don’t work out. Any other

schools in your area that might be better for your son, etc. Is there

any quiet room he could spend some time in with the mentor playing a game or

something that he might look forward to for each day…

It’s tough, I know. Good luck, Gail

[Guest guest]

Thank you to everyone who responded to my plea.

My daughter was homeschooled until Feb of this year. She told me

homeschooling was boring and stupid, even though we did everything she

wanted (child-led). My son (15) loves homeschooling. We put her back

in school, though not into public, but a small private school. Atleast

she likes the academics. I could not homeschool her again.

She hates taking her supplements. Do I keep plugging away, or just let

her go and eat whatever she wants, just to keep myself sane???

[Guest guest]

Thanks , I think you're right about this. In retrospect I think

he may have been having die-off since I've been upping the

antimicrobials and been using broader ones than just for yeast

(including OLE and colloidal silver). The histamine connection was

big for us and definitely a step in the right direction, but I have

trying to figure out what has caused that problem in the first place

and gut dysbiosis seems to be the most plausible cause. We are going

on the GAPS diet soon (like SCD) so I hope that helps. Thanks for the

encouragement, I need to know this can go away!

The more you describe your daughter's attitude, the more it all sounds

like a reaction/symptom. The negativity, saying that everything is

boring, not wanting to take supps, the anger, all of it is EXACTLY

like my son when he is " histamine-y " . I'm not saying that your

daughter necessarily has the same problem causing it, but it sounds so

much like it's all wrapped up into one package. I bet that if you

keep searching you will find something that will take this away.

She sounds exactly like my friend's daughter (who also stopped

homeschooling her daughter for similar reasons and also put her in a

small private school- her dd also likes the academics but can't seem

to keep friends because of her anger and negativity). My friend's dd

is a clear case of severe gut dysbiosis and malabsorption of nutrients

(clear to me, her mom won't consider any of this much). Her daughter

also shows many signs of both Pyrroluria and Histadelia, and since my

friend's mom is an alcoholic and their was abuse in her family, this

is almost certainly in their family. Both of those conditions seem to

be high in people with addiction problems and/or violent behavior

and/or sexual abusers, and these conditions are also strongly genetic.

My ds, who gets exactly like this when reacting to histamines (maybe

all amines, can't tell), is a sweet and cooperative child when not

reacting. He was always so intense and demanding since birth that it

was a surprise when we changed his diet last spring and he became so

mellow. The diet changes aren't ones that I had ever thought of and

never did together so I never picked up on any of this despite years

of special diets and elimination diets with myself and my kids. Like

I said, it's controlling the symptoms (mostly) but not making the

underlying problem go away. However, the symptoms were so bad that

just controlling them has been SO NICE!

My long-winded point is that these problems with your dd sound to me

like symptoms rather than unchangeable personality traits.

,

Have you ever tried TMG-Trimethylglycine? It made the world of difference

for my daughter when she hit puberty and became very aggressive, had

terrible rages and meltdowns, mood swings and temper tantrums. It naturally

raises your serotonin levels so as to give you a nice calm and happy

feeling. I buy it at my local health food store. It worked within 3 days of

my daughter taking the tablets, so if it works for your daughter, you should

see changes in her anger pretty quickly.

Good luck!

While you are giving her things to attack the yeast, I don't see anything listed

that really functions as a carrier to remove the toxins that are being released.

I would suggest a few enzymes, like No-Fenol by Houston Enzymes and Candidase

and Digest Gold by Enzymedica. I'd start with one each and work up to 2 or 3

each with each anti-yeast treatment and then when you notice improvement, work

back down. We never give any anti-yeast/bacterial/viral supplements unless we

are also giving the supplements that sort of sweep out the toxins that the

treatments release. The yeast releases toxins, so you want it under control,

but when you actively attack the yeast, an even larger number of toxins are

being released. The mechanisms to remove/filter these toxins out of the body are

sometimes just as impaired as the systems that allowed the overgrowth to occur.

Not to say they are impaired in the sense they need fixing, but just to say

they are possibly impaired in the sense they are overwhelmed, and most likely

the other supplements are doing a good job of repairing or fixing the

deficiency. But, you still need the broom and dust pan, and that is what I

equate the No-Fenol and Digest Gold and Candidase with, for us. It's possible to

see an even larger burst of anger, tears, red cheeks, lack of appetite, nausea

is possible although not likely, until the toxin buildup is flushed out of the

system. Possible this could take a couple of weeks. However, if she is already

so unhappy, what is two more weeks? Assuming she is not allergic to any of the

enzyme ingredients.

anger issues

My 12 yo (13 next week) is always so angry. She has been this way for

years, not just during puberty. In the morning I give her St 's

Wort, MetalloClear (for copper toxicity), a probiotic for yeast, Omega,

Calcium, Iron and Zinc. At night she gets 5HTP, MetalloClear,

probiotic, and Proboulardi (for yeast).

We've tried GF and CF for years.

I give up. She is always angry, now she's losing friends at school.

Any ideas, besides letting her lose all her friends?

The only good thing that's come of this supplement regimen is that her

grades are up, but her memory is worse. I assume it's from stress???

She also complains of always being tired. Her blood tests came back

normal, even for thyroid.

[Guest guest]

I am just trying to read between the lines...are you saying then that when doing

an antifungal (we have been doign Nystatin for a first time attack) then the

enzymes acts as a vehile to remove the toxins? we had done the no fenol but it

still constipates. we just did the candinease today...starting super slow..and

he did have a bowel movement..yea God. I had considered charcoal but that would

act differently than an enzyme..yes?

Hello, I am new to this support group or any support group for that matter. My

daughter was diagnosed with aspergers @ 3. She is now 10 going on 11 and I am

having such difficulty getting her to control her anger and angry outbursts. She

has been mainstreamed in school and receives services for math and reading. I

have considered putting her in therapy and am at a loss of what to do to help

her. Does any one have any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Hi there & welcome!

My name is and my son AJ is 13. At age 7 he was dx'd w/ Aspergers and at

age 11 started Lithium as he became suicidal. He hasn't officially been dx'd

bipolar but has most of the traits.

He too has EXTREME anger issues and has toddler meltdowns over absolutely

everything. Getting this kid to brush his teeth is even a battle. My son is able

to hold it together during school but is like a little pressure cooker and

explodes once he gets home. He too is mainstreamed in school, only going to

resource for math and english. He started middle school this year and it's been

a very hard change for all of us. We're still looking for answers and I'm still

reading & reading trying to figure out what may work for our household.

I would love to email back and forth about things that do and don't work for us.

I think we could ave a support group just for those of us trying to deal with anger in our kids - it seems to be such a big topic - the problem is our local support group has childcare and when you put a bunch of our kids in teh room together, they can get on each other's nerves and it is hard to talk when you keep having to check on your son exploding in the next room. That is why this works so good

I think most of us have been in that spot at least once if not weekly- when you are a single mom you find very creative ways to go to the store after bus pick-up on the way to work before you have to start, just to avoid going to the store with them as much as possible, but you can't avoid stores for ever...

They have these great business cards to hand out but I have never purchased them- mine has cleared entire shelves and store personel usually steps in to help as soon as he becomes destructive or starts running- thankfully we haven't had that in a long time now, but for a while it was a common occurrence and I still cringe at the thought of it sometimes. It is weird walking back into a store that has happened before, it all comes rushing back almost like post traumatic stress or something.

Hi there & welcome!My name is and my son AJ is 13. At age 7 he was dx'd w/ Aspergers and at age 11 started Lithium as he became suicidal. He hasn't officially been dx'd bipolar but has most of the traits.He too has EXTREME anger issues and has toddler meltdowns over absolutely everything. Getting this kid to brush his teeth is even a battle. My son is able to hold it together during school but is like a little pressure cooker and explodes once he gets home. He too is mainstreamed in school, only going to resource for math and english. He started middle school this year and it's been a very hard change for all of us. We're still looking for answers and I'm still reading & reading trying to figure out what may work for our household.I would love to email back and forth about things that do and don't work for us.

I would certainly get with a local support group like Autism Society and check them out first.I started a support group 5 years ago and will say it is best for you to be stable in your own child's educational (IEP/504 if needed) and medical (known most treatments especially alternative ones) before venturing on your own as many parents will need help from you.Robyn-- Sent from my Palm PreOn Oct 16, 2010 15:31, Cathleen Veloria <cathleen.veloria@...> wrote:

I think we could ave a support group just for those of us trying to deal with anger in our kids - it seems to be such a big topic - the problem is our local support group has childcare and when you put a bunch of our kids in teh room together, they can get on each other's nerves and it is hard to talk when you keep having to check on your son exploding in the next room. That is why this works so good

Robyn,

ok, I hadn't thought of that. I'm just rushing into this cause I need someone to talk to. I think my own depression is starting to come out, which isn't good.

Talk soon,
