Prozac and lexapro/celexa both made me really really irritable. sometimes Id feel good but not abnormally good. But my control of my anger was really poor. Stupid little things would really piss me off.
Theres some debate as to whether this is mixed/dysphoric hypomania or just the depression itself. Depression can manifest with irritability too.zoloft (and high doses of lexapro) acted much like what you mention. It dampened the anger but with it came apathy and anhedonia. Lexapro was worse in this regard and lowering it just allowed the anger to come back.
Probably an AED like lamictal would work better for this sort of thing. But my cognitive function is bad enough already with depression.
