Have you considered a mood stabilizer? Rage often comes up in the biopolar spectrum. Something like gabapentin (mild) or depakote (killed my anxiety and kind of knocked me out) might be helpful. And you could combine them with a stimulant, which is what I do. Its a speedball basically. I take provigil (much less speedy than the amphetamines) with klonopin and gabapentin. The provigil motivates me, the klonopin and gabapentin take the irritable edge off. But I think you need something as a stabilizing foundation to layer the benzos and stimulants on top off.
