In reply to Larry, MUCH more important question, please help.., posted by McPac on April 29, 2003, at 23:10:56
> Questions for you, please:
>
> 1) Prozac made me VERY Angry/Irritable, Zoloft does too....WHY? What is it about those 2 ssri's that could cause that? (If it helps, Lamictal also made me that way) Geez, I REALLY need to figure this out! Certain meds (mostly SSRI's though) have that effect...it's my worst side effect.
> (Also, if it helps, Remeron, at 45 mg. sped me up too much (very jittery) but did NOT make me angry..Anafranil did NOT make me angry either(those 2 meds are anti-dep's but do NOT make me angry)....is there any way to deduce why the ssri's cause anger/temper problems? THANKS!!!

>Just a guess... but perhaps you just can't tolerate high serotonin (ssris) and high adrenergic (remeron) activity. Yet the sedating anti-histamine effects of remeron and anafranil may have prevented the anger you would have otherwise felt. Again... just a guess.
