"Also, STAY AWAY from antipsychotics!"
Great advice Morgan. I've never had a PDoc suggest an antipsychotic for me before, but having had poor responses to SSRIs before seeing my current PDoc, and despite having had semi-psychosis/delusions, my current PDoc/T never once suggested I start them-and I am so thankful for this as it does not seem a good route to follow for many people for various reasons.
I think those things are over prescribed. I take Xanax when I need it for effects of severe anxiety and it works great for me-no nasty side effects and no need to take a medication daily.
Having said that, I don't know what necessarily works for anger, but if I had this issue I'd try other options before APs.....
