Hi cadburyhesychasm,
No offence to Blueberry, but he recommends antibiotics for everything.
As far as nicotine modulators - not sure. Varenicline is a partial agonist nicotinic receptors (not sure if this is available in India), but I don't know it's effect on your symptoms (it can sometimes cause depression as a side effect - which can, sometimes worsen anger).
Other than that, there's not a lot available. Wellbutrin does interact with acetylcholine receptors, but it is also a norepinephrine, dopamine reuptake inhibitor (and can increase irritability).
You might try nicotine itself (not sure if nicotine replacement patches / gum are available in India). Nicotine calms some people down (purportedly).
Not sure if you have tried lithium.
Other options may include melatonin, 5-ht1a agonists like buspirone, or marijuanna.
Rauvolfia serpentina (Indian Snakeroot) is a traditional Indian treatment for certain psychiatric disorders. It contains reserpine, which has been shown to exert antihypertensive, anti-manic, anti-schizophrenic, anti-agresstive effects. It lowers levels of monoamines (dopamine, norepinephrine). You have to be careful with this one though, as it can sometimes cause depression.
