In reply to Meds for angry outbursts??, posted by tina on May 5, 2003, at 8:14:25

> Are AD's the right med when you just have these quick-tempered anger outbursts at other people or would an atypical antipsychotic be more appropriate? Not really depressed but definitely have an anger control issue and constant irritability. What would be a good med for that?
