QUESTION: Around two weeks ago started to feel PURE ANGER. I have never liked confrontations and will try to avoid them at all costs. Now I look for trouble. I have No feelings of hurting anyone, including myself. But I don't like this and it's putting a strain on my family. I am 58 and widowed and disabled. I live with my two adult children, 33 & 32. Could all this be from a med?

Brief Answer:
Buspirone side effect possible
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
increased anger can be a side effect of buspirone. This would also fit with the time range you are describing. Please reevaluate this with the prescribing Dr to potentially find an alternative. Combining this with sertralin is also a potentially dangerous combination which in rare cases can even lead to the (life threatening) serotonin syndrome.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarifications you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
