Well...I'd say try to find, or add, something to tone down the anger. *Sometimes*, a relaxing med like a benzo or a beta-blocker do it, and many are also turning to atypical antipsychotics for this. The good thing is there is little risk, and you only need a small dose. They would work well with either Effexor or Zoloft. (I've been on both drugs...so I know them pretty well.)
The antidepressants haven't really been shown to have much effect on anger, and could possibly lead to a manic angry state. That's why I'd highly suggest trying out one of the above meds.
Let us know if you need more info.Best,
Jay
