Can the drug seroquel make you homicidally angry or is this just part of mania in bp?

Answer 1

Seroquel is a mood stabilized used to treat Bipolar Disorder. It should not be causing homicidal ideations. Either way, please seek help immediately.

Answer 2

There are occasions when one will have a paradoxical reaction to a medication.

Therefore, if you take seroquel, an antipsychotic which normally calms you down and subdues a manic episode, and have a paradoxical reaction - you will experience intense rage for instance.

If this homicidal anger coincided with the injestion of the Seroquel, then I would be highly suspicious of the medication causing the problem.

Speak to your doctor about this immediately. It's not a happy or safe place to be within yourself.
