Pditty, can you get to a red cross and ask for the old clothes that they otherwise have to have taken away? they stuff they can't sell or send to the emergency zones? You might be able to use those as a safety vent for ripping up when the rage comes. I know, it is not a real solution, but it might kind of be easier on your budget.

my mom was on depakote, and let me tell you, we never really saw eye to eye, but on that medication, she was after my throat 24/7 when we went to visit her, even my brother in laws were trying to fend her off me, and that is unusual. Therer is something about that stuff that sends some people rabid. Hang in there. I don't think your pdoc is experimenting, but this brain chemistry isn't easy stuff. HUGGGGGGSSS and good luck.
