What kind of meds are best for Agitation/Irritability?
I get agitation/irritability from my Zoloft. I take zoloft 100mg every day for panic attacks and it works excillent for that. I’ve had agitation/irritability problems ever since starting the zoloft. I don’t feel like stopping the drug since I don’t want to relapse. I also have a dx of Asperger’s disorder which it could be related to as well but don’t know. The doctor wrote me a script for Risperdal 0.5mg which I have taken for about 3 weeks now and has modertately helped. I’m afraid to adjust the dosage because of the risks associated with anti-psychotics. I refuse to take Lithium or Depakote or Tegratol because of the risk of toxicity. I also refuse to take Lamictal because I don’t want to develop a rash. I know I should try them to see but I don’t think I will even follow that advice. Any help would defintatly be appreciated. Thank you in advance. If you have any other questions please ask and I will respond with futher details. Thanks… Andy…
