But I have a friend that has her dog on "doggie prozac" for severe anxiety.  It has really helped the dog. 

Your frien can also ask about melatonin to help calm the dog.  I would have questions as to what constitutes and triggers the "aggression" issues.  It may be more helpful to have a trainer or behaviorist evaluate the dog first, before resorting to anti-anxiety meds. :)
