▲ 3 r/zoloft

Has anybody else experienced a short temper with zoloft? I’ve been on 150 mg for about six months (gradual increase in dosage and I haven’t switched my dosage in over a month). I’ve never been an angry person. Before zoloft, I literally told people that I’m never angry. I honestly forgot what it even felt like to be really angry until I started zoloft. I thought it would go away, but it hasn’t. I’m irrationally angry at small things and it’s very hard to calm myself down and forget about it. Small incidents make me full of rage and make me want revenge/justice. If someone flips me off in traffic or persistently irritates me, I feel so so angry. It’s like a switch goes off in my brain and instead of my usual flight response, I feel like fighting someone. However, my anxiety also heightens with the anger and I believe it would take a lot for me to physically hurt someone. Zoloft has been amazing for my anxiety overall, but the occasional anger that I feel is distressing and very unlike me.
