> Is there something to take specifically for bipolar? Or once I'm stable am I supposed to be not angry anymore?
Hi Ciaolavida,Hum, anger goes hand in hand with bipolar disorder and/or borderline disorder. I think you are taking the combo Lithium and Lamictal. I'm taking the same combo. Very often, residual symptoms don't go away by themselves. Thus taking temporarily an atypical antipsychotic, like Abilify or Seroquel, is necessary. Anger, anxiety, rage, insomnia, agitation can be treated with an AP as add-on.
Otherwise be sure to have a good level of Lithium, 0.8. Don't raise the dose of Lamictal too quickly. Lamictal is somewhat stimulating and can be anxiogenic.
Good luck!
