Just seen a TV show where they said if your on AP’s you can’t get angry. I don’t believe this but I have knda found a peace in life,. Always thought it was the holly spirit, but I guess it could be the AP’s. What’s your experience?

I can get angry. I often get angry with the government but realize it’s probably because I am delusional

I’m constantly angry, the pressure in my brain is endlessly frustrating.

Maybe I’m just confused, but I think my emotions are all there. I don’t think they’re blunted at all. But I do notice I am far less volatile.

I still feel the range of emotions.

I get angry a lot, anger that grows irrationally out of thoughts I have, and I don’t know how to make it fade without hurting myself. I want to get on Haldol again cuz the typicals seem to mellow me out better than the atypicals. Sometimes my anger turns into aggression and that gets me in trouble.

I can get angry. I feel happy and sad too. But I have to be really careful with the anger, because if I get into a shouting match with someone, I’ll likely get a panic attack. And that is definitely something I want to avoid. Thankfully, I have less anger than I did off the AP. I think it is because I was always suspecting people of awful things when I was off the AP and would get angry at them for it. Luckily those days are gone

I had read that resperidone quells anger. I think it blunts many emotions.

I rarely get angry. But today somebody messed up and I got really really really annoyed. It was borderline anger.

I don’t very often get angry and even when I am I’m not that angry. Annoyed or frustrated are more likely what I am experiencing.

On Depakote I rarely get angry - as a matter of fact I haven’t felt real anger in months.
Off of meds, I can get furious!
Mania can trigger some pretty intense emotions.
Especially Mixed States.

I don’t get angry. I hardly ever have in my whole life. I do get upset when bad things happen. I can’t feel anger and I can’t show anger. I don’t know if it is a personality trait or a result of being on AP meds.
Instead of actually feeling anger I may say or write a few words that would indicate anger.
Obviously this is a problem for me. It’s really unfair to be unable to express anger. But I guess it is hard for others to be a recipient of my anger.

I should also note I often express wrong emotions when I’m trying to express rage or annoyance. I often smile, sometimes laugh. It’s very confusing for anyone who is the recipient of my anger, like my bf. Already a few times he’s totally misread me in major situations because I couldn’t display my emotions right.

I get angry and sad. When I was I risperdal I had no emotions. I hated it. I asked to change my meds. Now I’m on Haldol and I’m full of emotion.
