I am happy to state that I haven't had a single screaming fit since I've been medicated.

Used to be that I'd get mad and yell, and the more I yelled the angrier I got until I'd just start screaming and cursing. I've done that to the point that I ripped open capillaries in my throat and started spitting up blood. I had no more control over my rage than the average 2-year-old....the only thing I didn't do was hit people. I was never physically violent with anyone no matter how furious I was.

That all changed after I went on that first mood stabilizer. I still get pissed off sometimes, but am much more in control of it and I'm no longer an angry woman.
Bottom line, I think a lot of my rage was/is at least partly due to my BP all the way back to early childhood, even though I wasn't diagnosed or medicated properly till I was in my early 50s. But who knows....
