How To Treat Anger?

Hello ,I am 33 years , 58kgs and has epilepsy. I take half dose of Levipil 500mg in the morning and a tablet in the evening. Since I start this medication I have noticed my anger has increased and i remain irritated all the time. I remain depressed all the time and have lost my food appetite. Also , I feel too lethargic .Is it possible to avoid these side effects?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Divaloproex sodium, carbamazepine and high dose propranolol has a tendency to reduce agression. Behavioural therapy will also be helpful.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
