Well, what my PDoc and Therapist was telling me about anger is to "channel your anger to something productive, or exhausting without harm". So I got to work out till I had no more energy to exercise my anger. And it stimulates endorphines to make you "feel good" for several hours. I was put on several antidepressants at that time though.

The first time I has been to a therapist was when I was like 6 or 7 for OCD. She gave me a placebo, and the placebo worked for some time to break some intrusive thoughts - as a small distraction. But that was only until I got to know that it was just a vitamin pill. At that moment, all they wanted was to give a false reassurance as a distraction.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to take an AD for four years from 14 yrs. But Fluoxetine is one of the few ADs suitable for young adults.

I think you could still work on your anger issues and think about more possibilities openly, and reconsider your idea of ADs destroying your life. Get a second opinion from another therapist. Some PDocs may not think thrice before giving out ADs. But Psychologists on the other hand try their best to help their client without medication. So you can see a Psychologist to get a second or third opinion.

I mean, this could be something completely different, and completely new avenues may open..
