Hi, queentam!
In the literature it lists this as having been reported but not how often.
" Aggressive behavior/aggressive reaction/aggression/aggressiveness, agitation, anger, anxiety"
It may be what's called a paradoxical reaction which is when a drug causes the opposite effect of what it's supposed to do.
If it were me I wouldn't take it again until I spoke with my doctor.
