[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 236409, member: 2423"] Both Effexor and Remeron are antidepressants and can cause anger, especially in people with bipolar disorder. Ativan can also cause disinhibition. Haldol is a pretty hefty antipsychotic. Have any of the atypical antipsychotics been tried in the past? I agree with Toto on the need for thorough bloodwork. That should include a check of his Depakote level to make sure it is in a therapeutic range. Even if it is, however, the other medications could be destabilizing him. In your shoes, I'd recommend a medication wash because he's on 5 medications and still doing poorly. You might need to start over to get a good medication combo in place. [/QUOTE]
