My wife has had the same problem. She was fine up to 75 g. When she went from 74 mg to 100 mg, she went nto a transient rage that lasted about three days. Once the trasient period ended, she was fine. She failed to tell h doctor, who then raised her from 100 mg to 125 mg, and she went into an uncontrollable rage, directed at me, for four days. She seems to be OK now, but as one with bipolar, it sent me into manic phase resulting in hospitalization for me. I left an angry message for herd doctor explaining whathad happened and begged him not to raise her to 150 mg. I called the pmacist who said it was because of the combination of Lactimal and Invega (she's on 9 mg) and I also reported it to the manufacturers of Lamictal and Invega.
