I started taking Prozac and I noticed that i started to get more irritable.

I started a few days ago, and I noticed I would get angry more often at everything. Please Help.

This is a common side effect both of depression and the meds taken for it.  It might pass or it might not.  I'd talk to your psychiatrist about this, as violent and suicidal thinking are one of the side effects that can happen early on when starting an antidepressant.  I was on Paxil for years, and it made me angry and aggressive the entire time.  For others it goes away.
