i can relate. im not physically violent or throw things but i have so much rage. i scream and yell and pick fights for the most stupid reasons and i cant controll it, it just comes out. I feel like a bad person but i do believe its the medication or just the epilepsy in general. but ive never been liek this until i turned 18. ive been on lamictol for the p[ast 5 years or so and this has just come up in the past year year and a half or so. i have so much rage and anger i just cry. and it really sucks but im in the same boat. i have no reason what so ever to be angry so it muyst be an effect of the medication in my opinion.
