Hi All!   My summary is below.

Thanks to everyone who kindly offered suggestions and support.  I really
needed your ideas and similar experiences.  I realized I may have been
taking hidden gluten in a med - stopped that med and feel SO MUCH CALMER
today despite lack of sleep last night.  All your ideas (see below) gave
me something to work with!  Thank you SO MUCH!

No thanks to those who lectured me or were bluntly rude.  This may have
been the wrong forum to ask for help and I realize this is a free
country but hey - I didn't know where to turn and thought things were
hopeless.  Give me a break!

Summary of ideas:
-  lots of people have been here - just stick it through and find what
      works...because admitting it is half the work - fixing it is the other
      half.
-  check for hidden glutens (lipstick, envelopes...)
-  eat more carbs to up your seratonin (like advised in a 'stay calm
      over the holidays article).
-  read Atkins - (books on low carbs/ high protein diets) this came
      many times.
-  get Thyroid checked
-  go ahead and take the med to help with depression.  Zoloft works
      for many.
-  its natural to blow up once in a while
-  glucose imbalance - try glucose tolerance test
-  tons of book recommendations
-  high protein - low carb diet (I'm trying this along with stopping
      that med...)
-  blood sugar may register OK but still could have bad reaction to
      sugar.
-  too much seratonin  meds will help - foggy for a few months then
      peace.
-  seek counseling
-  try St. Johns wort/KAVA
-  lots of similar stories involving kids w/ADD
-  poor eating habits could cause this
-  eat little bits through out the day - dont eat sugar
-  it comes with life - life is stressful enough without gluten
      stressing our systems even more - of course you'll get crabby!
-  PMS - try Vit B supplement
      -  try more calcium
      -  try evening primrose
      -  try going off dairy
-  Hormone cycles
-  Not all problems are related to gluten (where was the help in this?
      Like my six year old would say 'no duh')
-  laughing helps

Thanks again for all your help and offers to listen via EM.  Your ideas
helped me see that there is a way out and gave me something constructive
to do along with seeking professional help with dealing w/children
w/ADD.
