I know I have to work hard at avoiding triggering situations. Sometimes, I fail. I had this same problem while on max dose paroxetine/Paxil, an SSRI. So, for me, meds did not help. If I remove myself from the situation, I settle down. My wife will play interference if she has the opportunity. Any distraction can help. The common trigger is somebody verbally attacking/challenging me. I will respond and get very loud very quickly.
Some times, it is a slow building stress with a release point where I finally let loose. The straw that breaks the camels back situation. I also get triggered by sensory overload into lasting anxiety reactions but they are different than the other explosions. I may need a klonopin or propranolol to get my system to settle down. I wish I had a better solution. But, understanding this problem and taking ownership of it versus making excuses can be a start.
