I've had the angry mania a couple times, although mine always turned inward. I am relieved to see your dude knows it's time to bail. That's probably best. Do you have worse mania when there's a full moon? I know I do. It's recently been full moon around here, but I didn't know it until after mine had started to subside. Your pain levels must be excruciating to resort to that med. It left me hurting days after I took it as my body recovered from it.
