Increased anger, temper tantrums, anxiety post op?

I am almost 3 mos post op. I am having trouble with depression, as I know a lot of post ops have. But the other thing that I haven't been able to find much mention of is problems with anger, temper and anger/temper outbursts. I am out of control some days. I feel so sorry for my husband. It just happens before I can stop it. I know there are many theories about the rapid wt loss and estrogen and all. I've only lost 46 lbs. I have also had an increase in anxiety. I had not had anxiety attacks in a long, long time. They're back. I am taking Ambien every night to help me sleep and sometimes Klonapin (anti-anxiety). My husband is concerned about me taking these meds but honestly, I look so forward to them because I can relax (only time during the "awake" part of the day.) I am 40 yrs old, have no children (and want them badly), if this matters. Thanks so much for answering.
