is rage a result of adrenaline not abating
benzos don't have any effect
5mg of ambien will help somewhat
what's that about?what is the chemical story on rage?
some ADs have helped in the past but i can't go there now
i have to get my head on straight quickly

>Hi Elenor,
I've seen small amount of Seroquel work for that but it will make you drousy as well.

I've gotten rage, which is totally out of character for me, from serotonin meds like Lexapro, herbs such gingko or sjw, norepinephrine meds such as cymbalta or ritalin. So my instinct tells me it is not any one particular neurotransmitter, but rather some receptor being overstimulated by too much of something. If that is true, then receptor blockers such as antipsychotics should work well for rage, and indeed they do most often.

but don't you think that sometimes rage and aggression gets triggered by stress but then the gas peddle gets stuck?
