Seroquel and epilim are very good medications for mania, anger, mood swings and psychosis. There are indeed others as lindahand says, though - lots of others. Seroquel and epilim are usually the ones they try you with first (or lithium instead of epilim). Seroquel is an anti-psychotic (also prescribed for anger and mood problems) and epilim is an anti-convulsant (also prescribed as a mood stabiliser).
But talking therapy is as important as drugs if not more so, in such situations as these.
I think taking the Seroquel will keep you calm and mellow. If you start to feel the anger coming again call your doctor to maybe up your dose.
Stay away from sugar as that can cause people to get violent. Have you ever had a head injury? Sometimes there can be a brain injury that causes people to become violent.
Talking to a therapist helps to relieve alot of anger issues as they teach us how to change our thinking patterns. I would highly recommend that for you.
i have anxiety, depression, Bipolar disorder and anger issues. i get so mad sometimes and lose controll. its not even funny. i break things around me and i try to hurt myself... i want to go on another medication for anger problems but i dont think its healthy to be on so many medications at once. what should i do?
Our son is taking Seroquel XR 300 mg strength once per day - 4 weeks now - he had his first psychosis one month ago- he often displays sever anger at home. What should we do ? He lives else where so we typically only see him once per day .....10 to 15 minutes at a time when he comes home. We would like to help him.
I have been taking a number of medications since I turned 21 in 2008, the first being Prozac, Adderall, and Seroquel. I was only prescribed Seroquel for as long as my doctor wanted to "observe possible Bipolar symptoms".... after about 3 months he took me off Seroquel. After years of continued difficulty with bouts of depression, anger/irritability, sleep, I saw a new doctor in 2015 who prescribed Abilify 5mg along with Adderall.
What meds are you on? How old are you? I do have some pretty bad anger and some pretty intrusive evil thoughts at times. I don't feed them and I have gotten use to the fact that they are going to happen. I am not afraid that I will carry them out anymore. It is part of it. Try to think of something else when it happens. You have to rationalize through it and think of what the consequences would literally be. Stay strong and come back here to talk when you need to.
I have been taking Depakote and Seroquel Xr since October 2010 and I actually quite like them LOL after being on so many mood stabilisers and antipsychotics.
In May the Seroquel was increased from 300mg to 400mg as I was becoming very irritable and unable to cope with small amounts of stress without flying into a rage and then being left with lots of tears of guilt about being so nasty.
I had also noticed that my sleep was getting less and less as the Seroquel wasn't making me as drowsy.
I was put on Lamictal 100mg 2 times daily,,Seroquel 300mg at bedtime and Cymbalta 60mg daily. The last week and a half Ive been in a crappy mood,,wanting to sleep all the time and just feel like I have no energy. Everything sets me off and Im getting angry and bitter again. I was doing sooo well on these meds. I have gained weight from the seroquel and that weighs on me literally. Is this what the hypomania phase is? How long does it last?
Pills/medicines: Seroquel (to improve sleep and treat anxiety) , Lamictal (to avoid abnormal the electrical discharges within the brain)
Alternative therapies: (must be combined with the medicines):
Acupuncture (to improve blood circulation and rebalance the energy),
Osteopath (to unlock blood circulation especially at the abdomen and spine levels)
Anger Management (breath exercises as in yoga just google them, sport like boxing)
Neuronal programming.
i am experiencing extreme anxiety, sleeplessness, feeling cold, anger, seeing dead people in my sleep, nausea, very little appetite, some shakineness. as each day progresses it seems the symptoms become more pronounced. i was put on 400mg of this drug on 1/3/08 after i had brain surgery and been having seizures, i have not had any siezures at this time. is this normal? my neurologist began cutting me back on monday by 100mg every two weeks. help!!!
Are you or have your seen your child experience unusual and unreasonable bursts of anger. My daughter in high school would have explosive bursts of anger way out of proportion to a situation. It would make my head spin.
Now, we are having so much trouble getting her to follow thru with plans....This AM she needed me to find the juice before she could make an appt with an prospective employer. So it was me who blew my cork...
So...is anger and apathy...
I started taking Wellbutrin a month a ago. My life has been a rollercoaster since. I'm at my wits end. Has anyone experienced anger outburts after taking Wellbutrin. What has been your best combination of medicines to take for Bipolar? Has anyone been on medicines for a long period of time and been stabilized with this disease? I'm looking fo hope here. I am so frustrated.
I read that fainting is one possible side effect of Risperdal.
what exactly were you feeling before you were hospitalized? what do you mean with "out of control" ? why did you lose control what was the reason of your anger if anger was the problem? did you have any physical symptoms?
-s With the depakote and seroquel these are 2 meds that are supposed to help with irritability and anger which is why I'm looking outside the "box" for this. Are you on any AD's alongside these. I for one experienced a dramatic switch to irritability and physical anger when I was on an AD.
seroquel gets rid of my insomnia and anger, but now I hate food! and my viens have shrank massively they use to be the diameter of dimes! stiking out all over I was as healthy as an ox! now I feel like the nothingnes has swallowed me whole like the rock man on the neverending story. I have meloncolly and my viens are micro scopic like an 90 year old diabetic women.
