Actually, I think exasperate is perfectly valid as well.

From WordNet (r) 1.7 [wn]:

  exasperate
       v 1: exasperate or irritate [syn: {exacerbate}, {aggravate}]
       2: make furious [syn: {outrage}, {infuriate}, {incense}]
       3: make worse; "This drug aggravates the pain" [syn: {worsen},
          {aggravate}, {exacerbate}] [ant: {better}]
