I've been on 50mg for over 4 years now
My GP was happy for me to go up,to 75mg in the past. I weaned myself back down again quite easily but no lower than 50.
During lockdown I went back up to 75 as I was really struggling.
3 months later I'm angry and snappy.
Should I increase to 100mg?

Speak to your gp, don't make the decision yourself. You might need further monitoring if dose is increased (liver function etc)

I wasn't on it for as long so am not sure if this will be useful but when I came off it, I had the most intense anger. Really uncharacteristic for me.

So perhaps it's a side effect of altering the dose and your brain getting used to it. I'd consult your doctor and see what they say about how long you've been on the new dose and how you got up to it
