Seroquel made me somewhat irritable. It might have been due to the desipramine-like properties of the drug's metabolite.
Parnate + desipramine brought on episodes of extreme rage. This was an expression of a dysphoric manic reaction to the medication.
Perhaps Nardil would be a better fit for your illness. I wouldn't know. It is less apt to produce impulsivity and aggression than Parnate is.
I think you should take a serious look at Trileptal. It doesn't usually cause weight gain, and is known to reduce impulsivity and aggression. Currently, you might be experiencing a mixed-state mania. I have seen Topamax work in a similar situation.
If your anger episodes are not at all related to your mental illness, then you might need to find an outlet for it. Exercise would probably help. Psychotherapy might be indicated.
You want to be better yesterday! Me, too!
Patience is a virtue. I'm not really much good at it myself. If you jump around from drug to drug and from dosage to dosage, you are likely to accidentally pass over an effective treatment.
