Started a new medication some time back, Plaqunial.
Turns out a very rare side effect is it makes you psychotic.
The kind where sweet old grandma would come at you with a kitchen knife and dance on your grave in glee.
Was extremely angry for months on it, but didn’t realize it was the medication.
Then since it was working so well on my condition, completely life changing.
The doctor doubled it.
Was not a good week. Out of a job a few days later.
So not an excuse for tossing a printer, but on that med it was a constant battle to not explode.
