I am very sorry that this happened to you. I think your anger is valid although I completely understand that it did get out of control and that you now would like a way to control it better. I take seroquel and it does help to control my anger as long as I get enough sleep. I find that my rage outbursts are very much linked to my sleep levels. If I get too little I am prone to rage and if I get to much I am prone to rage. For me that perfect amount is at least 10 hours of sleep a night. My daughter takes Risperadone and it has helped her a lot with rage as well, but I have noticed that she does also have increased appetite since beginning it.

To curb the weight gain from seroquel I take topomax, but I have taken it years and it is quit hard for some people to deal with as it has some side effects that are not fun. And a lot of people call it Dopomax. It does curb my appetite and I have no weight gain and have lost weight.

I hope things are better today!
