Veteran, 25, About 190lbs, Chronic Back Pain, Anxiety, Anger And

Veteran, 25, about 190lbs, chronic back pain, anxiety, anger and depression. I've been switched to this after I requested the va to take me of hydrocodone. I take multiple meds for my mental health issues. I think my moods have become more erratic and my anger is barely controllable. I see that mood swings are a side effect. Was this medication switch appropriate?
