Answers:
One type of medication they often use to control anger is an anti-depressant!. I know that may sound strange, but anger is often a sign of depression; people who are depressed often strike out at others in fits of rage!.

Anti-depressants come in all different kinds of formularies, and are prescribed based on your particular chemical imbalance!. Most cases of depression are due to a chemical imbalance in the brain where one or more of the brain's natural chemicals is not being produced in sufficient quantity to keep us on an even par -- to keep us feeling good!.

In most cases, doctor's begin by prescribing SSRI's ~ Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors ~ which put Seretonin back into your brain; Seretonin is one of the brain's "feel good" chemicals and, when we're depressed, we don't produce enough Seretonin in our brains!. One example of an SSRI would be Prozac -- most people have heard of Prozac from several decades ago!.

If not administrered properly, anti-depressant medications can be very dangerous, and may even cause some people to commit suicide!. It's very important to keep in close contact with your doctors while on these types of medications; tell your doctors of any adverse side-effects or feelings you have while taking the drugs!. Often times, a simple adjustment in dosage is all it takes to fix the problem!.

Sometimes, it takes a combination of 2 or 3 different medications to get these chemical imbalances under complete control!. I, myself, am on 2 anti-depressant medications and 1 anti-anxiety medication, all of which are prescribed to help me cope with the fact that I'm in constant, chronic pain and I'm physically disabled, and I have been for over 15-years!. That type of long-range pain and disability can make a person very depressed and anxious; you feel there's no end in sight to your pain, and you're always afraid of losing your job, your spouse or significant other -- who wants to stay in a relationship with a cripple!? It's really hard to live this way; you never know what's going to happen next!.

It's also very important to know that, if you were to go on these types of medications for anger control or depression, you don't want to mess with illegal drugs like pot, or even alcohol!. Recreational drugs like pot and alcohol can mess up how these medications work in your system; they can mess with your brain chemistry and destroy the whole purpose behind the medication!. If you want to stay alive, stay away from mixing recreational drugs and prescribed medications at all times; it simply isn't worth the risk!.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions!. If not, send me an e-mail through Yahoo! and I'll write to you personally!.
