Sudden aggression

I’ve recently been switched from perphenazine to caplyta. I had gone rogue off my meds and it didn’t go well.
Anyway it’s been almost a month and suddenly recently I feel very aggressive which is very unusual for me. I really wish someone would f around and find out (I’ve never been in a fight in my life). I feel like snapping on some a hole who makes fun of mental health or really anyone acting badly.
I am pretty sure I’m in control and don’t think I actually will. Normally I avoid confrontation like the plague. I consider myself a very peaceful person.
It just hits and I find myself shaking holding back.
Has anyone had this happen? What did you do to help?

I also think I’m in the throes of a slight psychotic break. Everything feels wrong and I’m not experiencing the world like my peers.

Even getting beat to death sounds fine. I just can’t get over the feeling.

I would go to the ER.

What would they do? @Mars

That’s the problem in my opinion. It would be worthwhile reporting your feelings of aggression to your psychiatrist

I felt better on perphenazine I think.

I had this as well after stopping meds cold turkey— turns out I was probs having a mixed episode.

Could possibly be a result of abruptly stopping and restarting a different med?

I’d speak to your psychiatrist asap. Tell them you’re feeling ultra aggressive and you suspect caplyta. Otherwise this might not end well.

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just have had traumatic experiences in the er and I genuinely wondered what they’d do.
I think the best idea is to get in with my pdoc asap.

I’ll call him tomorrow. You’re probably right.

They usually transport you in-patient if they think you’re a threat to yourself or others.

I think that has a lot to do with it. I just hate these feelings.

Yea, totally understandable— not a good feeling to have.

Defos get in touch with your pdoc as others here have suggested, and hope you feel better soon :+1:.

Get help asap. It could be a reaction to your meds. Topamax made me very aggressive.
