> i didnt realize that the anger/irritability was associated with mania.


Yeah. For instance, in Dysphoric Mania. There's a recent thread here on this:

Of course, there are many things that can cause irritability and anger. For instance, anxiety can cause it. So is it important to know what's causing it? I think it can help you spend less time tracking down the right therapy for you, but it seems like a lot of folks (myself included) have to go through trial and error. Oh, it'll be great when you can get a medical test to DX bipolar disorder (or whatever), but until then... Sigh.

Are you working closely with a doctor? Hopefully a pdoc? You really need someone you can see regularly and be objective while you go through your trial periods.

Good luck.
