I'm not exactly sure but I do know that
the Serotonin aspect of the drugs *shouldn't*
cause anger/irritability symptoms.The secondary binding sites of these drugs
may have caused the problems. Prozac
does have affinity for the Norepinephrine
sites, and Zoloft has affinity for Dopamine
receptor sites. These two chemicals can
provoke anger in certain individuals.You could try a cleaner SSRI like Celexa,
or Lexapro. Also, these symptoms could be
signs of the depression (which can sometimes
worsen before getting better).Also, certain people with underying bipolar disorder can react with anger/rage if pushed
by a drug into a manic state.
But this is not normal, for most people SSRI's
surpress anger.
Good Luck
