I did some research, and I think I figured out what was causing my mood swings: I didn't know my sleep pill, Trazodone, is actually also an anti-anxiety pill. I had been neglecting to take it as I have a bad habit of not laying down when I need to and losing track of the time, and I don't like to take it if I need to be up before it'd wear off (~8 hours). I was staying up late to write, but that meant I wasn't taking my pill as it'd make me groggy when I needed to wake to get ready for work. But then that left my anxiety unguarded, and it turned around and brought all those worries and such, and made me gradually fall apart.
I'm making sure to take them regularly every night. I have an alarm set nightly for 3 AM to remind myself to take them so they can do their job and help me. I'm going to be taking the other meds as they're intended as well.
Also, I found out my local pharmacy offers a discount for people not on health insurance (which currently applies to me), and it took an order of over $200 for my three medications down to $75. So that's quite helpful, heh.
I will keep you all posted.
