It could be a mixed state or a dysphoric mania. Irritability is also a symptom of depression. It could also be a side effect of the med. I know antidepressants aren't good for me without a mood stabilizer, and then I still need to be very careful because my indicators for mania are irritability and aggression. Sometimes just out right rage for no reason. Then it's time for the prn's.
