It probably wouldn't work with explosive anger, but if I remember to keep it in mind, I find it hard to be very angry for long at anyone (except myself), and I'm freer to find better conflict resolution.

I just changed my meds around. I just got off of the Ultram. I was taking a total of 50mg per day 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening. It bridged the gap for my depression. I found that when I took it the suicide thoughts went away, so for lack of knowing what else to do, I just stayed on it. I have read that it actually has antidepressant properties in it, so it wasnt all in my head that it was working. I have now gotten on Buspar. It has gotten rid of all the anger, irritably, and anxiety. I was just afraid to get on it, because Benzo's have always made me depressed, and I am trying to stay as far away from that as possible. I am not sure if Buspar is a Benzo. I think it is, but it is in a class of its own within that class of drugs. We will see how it does. No I have not gone for counseling recently. I really dont like to, and I have not alway had a problem with anger, just on and off. I cant set and rationalize how I feel about the situation before I blow up, as you mentioned above, I cant control it. That is what I was mostly concerned about.

Thanks again,
Frizzal
