Thanks for your advice. I talked to my PDoc and he seemed to think that I had 'accelerated moods' from the Paxil. I never had problems before on it, and I didn't have mood swings, just aggression. I feel better after taking my clomipramine dose back down to 10mg which to me indicates that it is the culprit. My PDoc wants me to stay on it until I get used to it. In the meantime I am hopefully going to slowly come of the Xanax.

I doubt if you can translate much of my experience with meds and hostility, but there were three meds I had to stop due to really bad hostility: Buspar, Effexor, and now Remeron. All three of them effect norepinephrine (there's the N word you were looking for). Specifically, the Remeron and the Buspar are alpha2 antagonists which enhance norepinephrine. All I know is that I more than a few times felt like punching my boss square in the jaw on several occasions and got stopped from doing so in one instance by a coworker. Also, you mentioned Xanax. Well that can lower your inhibition (like alcohol). So, possibly you get norepi levels up and throw in a little disinhibition from a benzo and you might get some hostility. I also got quite hostile occassionally when I was taking Valium. I am taking Klonopin now and I don't notice that.
