hi greg. just a few comments about my own raging stuff... maybe something will ring a bell, maybe not. paxil basically made it very difficult for me to get myself in a rage for the 5 years that i was on it. i did during the same time do quite a bit of therapy around how to have non-toxic anger and that helped too. now that i am on serzone i noticed i get pissed off in a nano-second about 2x/day (which isn't much compared to before meds but alot compared to the past 5 years). i found out though that my basic technique of not feeding the rage with more raging thoughts came in rather handy. i caught myself before i knocked someone's head off and was able to chill out. at least that first time it took about 20 minutes for the andrenalin in my system to return to normal. today when i had a mini rage attack it took about 1 minute. anyways, my thoughts on your questions are: ask something to keep the seritonin (can't spell) up so that when the rage attacks come you can negotiate them better...it's much easier when the you know that the adrenalin is gunna wear off pretty quick and that all you have to do is wait to return to your senses.
a few thoughts. have a successful pdoc appt. yo
