I get days when I'm full of hate and hostility (anger is an understatement ). I'm bipolar 2 and have a BPD diagnosis which I'm not sure of anymore, at any rate the BPD doesn't seem to be affecting me much at all now, but that could change I guess. The point is I'm sure it's my bipolar 2 that's causing these angry episodes. I also have an issue with irritation which I think comes from my bipolar, simply put I'm very sensitive to all annoyances, all sounds, bright lights, everything. It doesn't take much for the agitation in my mind to build up to painful levels, and the result is irritability. Zyprexa, an atypical antipsychotic, helps me quite a lot with agitation and anger, although that's not the main reason I'm taking them and I'm not sure what I think about using it for anger. Not sure if it would work if the anger is due to something else or if it is stronger than mine, and besides, the side effects from Zyprexa suck and maybe it isn't worth it if you feel your main issue is the anger (in my experience, keeping my mouth shut when angry is usually easier than dealing with the side effects). It's also used for mania, psychosis and as a mood stabilizer. It almost inevitably makes you gain weight, but I'm underweight so that's a good thing for me.
