The common phrase is "Fit to be tied."

:: Cassell's Dictionary of Slang says that it is mid-19th century in origin. Cassell just says that the phrase evokes someone "so hysterically furious that they need to be tied down". However, given that in the mid-19th century the straitjacket was in common use for restraining mental patients, I think it's very likely that that is indeed what the phrase is meant to imply.
