What seems to be the source of your anger?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Neither of the scenarios you mentioned. Rather, I'm trying to determine if it is because I'm bipolar (is it hypomanic anger) OR is it a reaction to meds? OR, possibly some of EACH---hypomanic symptoms AND a bad reaction to meds?
I KNOW for a FACT that Prozac caused TERRIBLE anger in me! The anger vanished after I stopped it (tried it twice, the exact same effect both times, TERRIBLE anger). Now, get this...when I take my lithium and Zoloft at the same time, I only get occassional anger, not too bad....but when I stopped taking the lithium and stayed on the Zoloft alone, TERRIBLE, DREADFUL anger....with the Prozac, EVEN ON lithium the anger was TERRIBLE---but, as I said, it started only when I started the Prozac and it disappeared as soon as I stopped the Prozac.....so, right now, I'm on lithium AND Zoloft...IF I stopped taking the lithium, AND STAYED on the Zoloft, I'd go NUTS! ANGER/RAGE!! How do I know? Because I already DID try that! So am I a bipolar who is having bipolar-like anger if I stop my mood stabilizer...OR, do I just have terrible reactions to some meds?
