Before you started the Wellbutrin a few days ago, you had been off meds for 6 weeks? What had you been taking previously? Have there been any stressors in your life, anything you can see that might have triggered the anger?
If there's nothing you can pinpoint, it's just out of the blue, I would think there might be a better med (more calming) for you than Wellbutrin. (I don't know your history with ad's of course). You took some Xanax leftover from a flight, and that really helped? Have you ever been on a benzo for any length of time? That might be an option. Getting checked out physically might be good too.
> okay, thanks so much for the replies, but again, I've been feeling the "rage" for two-three weeks PRIOR to the meds. Infact, I decided to go back on medication and try Wellbutrin b/c of the mood problems. I'm having difficulty getting this across to my doctor. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. I've started drinking wine just to take the edge off...I don't drink..so that's scary.
