I have noticed that I can be over-talkative, however this had always been one of my personality traits. As far as aggressive behaviour, possibly a very slight increase, but overall my temperament has improved due to the great reduction in irritability. I haven't found either aspect to be concerning.
You mentioned you can't bear to raise the dosage, is that because of the mania or because of uncomfortable physical side effects? How long did you maintain the higher dose for? Over a period of weeks many people seem to report unpleasant side effects easing.
I know it's a long shot, but ensuring the dose is taken on an empty stomach seems to help in my personal experience. If you don't already do this it could be worth a try to see if it changes anything?
You also mentioned your struggles seeing a psychiatrist through the NHS. I'm not sure how things are in the UK, but I know here that a GP is allowed to prescribe almost any medication that they are comfortable with. If you can make a strong case and find a sympathetic GP you may have more luck there?
