I tried an SSRI for a month, after the first week I was getting into more arguments for no reasons. Usually I'll have some (at least vague) lucidity as to why I'm upset, but at that time I didn't and it made me feel quite stupid. Never doing those again.
There is something like Serotonin Irritation Syndrome which can cause aggressive feelings and thoughts. Personally I tried to increase my serotonin twice, once with Tryptophan a few years ago and recently with Inositol. Both times I felt very aggressive. Maybe I should use it right before a chess game, who knows it helps ;)
It is sometimes mentioned that for people who are sensitive to psychosis (like me) this can be a tipping point towards aggressive behaviour.
