Does depression meds make you angry?

Yeah, only because I don’t like driving to the pharmacy to pick them up.

The answer is that it depends on the medication type in this instance. SSRIs will act minor tranquilisers. Dopamine drugs do have the propensity to increase anger. However when used in a cocktail they have a further mood stabilising effect. Where you take so much antipsychotic that it slows you down then you use something like Bupropion which speeds you up a bit. Taking reuptake medication will stabilise you levels and will make you experience less highs and lows making you more flat and then having less propensity towards anger? It really depends on the individual as AD medications can be agitating for some people.

No never tried sleeping pills.

I got to the point when I had to try that as well. I used clozapine as sleeping aid but I try to find something else.

For me, coming off from fluxanol depot changed my sleep pattern. Has been like 3 months since I am off it and for the past month without sleep aid, it gets down to roughly 3-4 hrs of sleep.

They wanna put me on abilify and restless could be side effect. So I do not know what would be. The depots are too strong for me.
