Hi, welcome
I'm not particularly experienced in PTSD although my daughter has it and I believe I have suffered it many years ago post marriage separation.
I am bipolar and have other issues like dysthymia, depression and anxiety (I have overcome that). What I can relate to is the events that seem like you are not effected by your medication. From my experience this happens often to me. Under the guidance of my professional mental health people I adjusted my medications and lifestyle to minimalise this. It was limited in success. In the end my mood swings were best at one point of dosage. So to summarise, I think I found the best possible point but that when a recurrence comes along I don't any longer seek an adjustment of my meds but rather let the period of poor moods to drift away.
Of course all medication taken should be consulted with your GP.
Your family members, have you discussed this with them? It is difficult for family to support and comfort an aggressive person, with or without mental struggles. It kind of goes against the grind don't you think? So the best method is to own it and apologise later. You don't have to apologise for the content of your views only the delivery of the aggressive method. That might help.
The "rage" you describe I think is common among us with mind issues. I do have it and frankly I need to exit the immediate environment (to the shed, the hobby room, the garden) and allow time to heal. Music with headphones help.
In the case of arguments or what you describe I have a thread below that you can use search or google. It might help especially if your partner goes along with it 100%.
