> There are several drugs for rage. Lithium is used as well as Inderal. These two stand out from the literature that I have read in the past. If I am correct, some of the TCA's and possibly the ssri's might apply. I currently take Lithium and it did wonders for my little fits of rage (do not know what yours are like) which seemed to come out of nowhere. I'm sure others will have suggestions to ad to these. Best of luck and many Blessings,
These are good suggestions (not sure about tricyclics but definitely SSRIs). I think MAOIs would work as well. Some people find atypical antipsychotics (Zyprexa, Risperdal) or anticonvulsants (Depakote, Tegretol, Lamictal) to work as well. If you have ADHD-type frustration intolerance, stimulants (Ritalin etc.) could help.
'Luck.
