I've always been hot-tempered, and yes, I have rage......or at least I used to. I haven't had a good screaming fit since I started that first mood stabilizer, and I just can't find a whole lot that's worth getting worked up over anymore. Like a PP said, you'd better get out of my way if you're driving like a fool and I'm anywhere in your vicinity; and when I'm full-on manic, I tend to argue politics and get pissed when someone calls me out on my views. But otherwise the medications mask the vast majority of my anger, which is innate and will always be there, but can be controlled.
