Is it normal for men to have mood swings? Lately I find that sometimes the smallest things set me off. I'll go from calm and peaceful to a raving lunatic in a split second. Usually over something on the TV news. But, the public and traffic will do it too.
I've not mentioned it to my doc yet. I'm afraid he'll put me on more pills and he has me on enough of them already.
Maybe it's all the meds I'm on, or a political overload, or just from trying to quit drinking, eating right and exercising all at once instead of tapering off. Sh!t, I don't know. I just know I'm afraid to be around people much. No, I don't get physically violent. Just yell a lot.
If you are changing many things in your life at once, that can have a drastic effect on you medically and mentally. Going through withdrawls possibly.
Or as crazychica posted, it could be andropause.

You should always consult a physician when you start to notice changes on your mood, memory, sleep-patterns etc. As for whether it's normal, I really don't know. It could be anything from the andropause (which can cause death so you have to get that checked out) to a side-effect of your pills. The only person who can really give a decent opinion on this this your doctor. Go.
My dad had andropause. We had no clue what was wrong with him. He lost 60+lbs, massive mood swings(on top of him having manic depression which he is medicated for). He went for multiple blood tests, cat scans, MRI, tested for Cancer. It was freaking us all out and driving us crazy with worry. Finally a specialist mentioned andropause and did whatever tests they do to check for it. It was such a relief to find out what he had.
