It is hard to make a suggestion here because it is unclear what the source of the anger is. Did precede the use of this medication or did it start only after you began to use this medication? It's possible that the anger comes from the stimulant effect of this medication and if that is the case then you will have to change medications. If that is not the source, then ask your doctor about adding small doses of Klonopin to take the edge off your anger.
