Personally, I take responsibility for it because I have rage when Im off of my meds too

I'm not on meds and I do tend to rage as well .
For me it is getting so over whelmed I lose control .
and snap .

I tend to over exaggerate my situation and let my emotions get away from me .

Sometimes it feels as tho I have no control until I have settled down .

meds or no meds .

I take responsibility for my rage but only after wards when I have settled down enough to realize what I have just done , when raging I always feel justified at the time, and that is scary .

I'd have to say, did you experience rage pre-meds? If so, then I'd say it's not the meds, otherwise it could be depending on the med. personally I too experience it both on and off but I do recall having it the worst when going through some medication withdrawals.

I don't know about blaming but I do want to do something to change the horrible feeling of that kind of anger

For me dysphoric mania requires medication to keep it under control.. Sorry if you're going through this sweetie.. It's nasty...xo

I used to rage when I wasn't on meds or when my meds weren't working. I, however, raged at inanimate objects and not people. Like breaking things etc... It still was me doing it and I would have to replace any broken items I destroyed. So I guess I take responsibility for them.

I had rages that were beauts pre meds.

My emotions were towering waves, destructive in their wrath. Honestly, I could not tell where the rage impulse came from, but it was always selfish.

Taking responsibility, whatever the cause of the problem, is the way to go.

Anti-psychotic and anti-depressant med withdrawal as well as taking street drugs (cocaine & meth) can cause rage, inappropriate anger and going off on others.

Count to 10 or 20.

Take a time out alone.

Do not respond to others in rage or wrath.

Meds and therapy have helped me a whole lot. Get a strategy.

Remember, silence is golden. (especially when we can keep our mouths shut) Yep. Pure Gold.

I was like beckyp, reply # 5
I was a breaker of inanimate things .
Or I would rage at myself .

Getting on the right meds has totally helped me keep the rages in check.

It's funny....I can sometimes still feel them...but they never get expressed .

Like the rage is coming from another room ....does that make sense ?
