> > > 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,

Refractory,After research done on my part, why would Inderal be written so often for rage, if in fact rage could be treated with an antidepressant, ssri, mood stabilizer? I agree that rage will coexist with various types of depression and psychotic situations and that rage could be treated with a specific drug for that condition. What about patients who have a problem with rage, but are not diagnosed with depression or a psychotic illness? This is only a question, since I am only trying to understand your train of thought. Also, I do not want this thread to turn into a battle, which will accomplish nothing at all. You do seem to have a decent knowledge of information, so maybe you could help me see where you are coming from. Thanks and Blessings,
